About the Team

WLOS/MY40TV is seeking an enterprising and aggressive reporter to join our team of investigative and consumer reporters. We are looking for someone with a clear understanding of how to dig for a story, research it, write it with an edge, and use strong storytelling and TV production to make it impactful and memorable.

The ideal candidate is an aggressive reporter with deep curiosity and an unrelenting commitment to get to the bottom of an issue and hold individuals accountable.

About the Role

This role is designed for a dynamic storyteller who thrives on enterprise reporting. You will work closely with the Producer and Executive Producer to refine investigative pitches and story scripts, ensuring every investigation resonates with the community. Your day will involve developing and maintaining a robust network of sources and experts to generate investigative stories on a regular basis. You will also be responsible for writing online versions of investigative reports and collaborating with the Digital Investigative Producer to create "web extra" content for each investigation.
