DESCRIPTION
KDAF CW33, Dallas/Ft. Worth seeks an experienced multimedia journalist to produce “Fresh, Unique, and New content for our locally produced lifestyle shows. You’ll help create new and different programming, have your work showcased in the fifth-largest media market, and have F.U.N. doing it!
You’ll tell local stories while staying within a brand focused on ALL things “FUN”. The right person will produce, report, shoot, edit, etc. (you know the drill) across all platforms in a unique and creative way.
Bringing ideas, connections, social media skills, and a “life of the party” personality to an already outgoing team of professionals, is a MUST.
You’ll win by having a “can do”, “will do”, and “already did it” attitude and a desire to create content that looks at the world a little differently… provided you have a reel to prove it.
