- Guide newsroom logistics and provide editorial support for MSJs, producers, and photojournalists.

- Edit reporter content for accuracy, grammar, AP style, digital best practices, fairness, and ethical considerations.

- Enhance storytelling with creative elements, including graphics, video, and audience-submitted content.

- Use available metrics to inform coverage decisions and improve audience reach.

- Support newsroom operations and short- and long-term coverage planning as needed.

- Uphold TEGNA's journalistic standards and values across all platforms.

Requirements:

- 1–3 years of journalism experience in a local newsroom, digital production, or related role.

- Strong news judgment and the ability to make fast, sound editorial decisions under pressure.

- Excellent writing skills, with the ability to produce accurate and compelling content quickly.

- Experience with newsroom systems and CMS tools.

- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities in a deadline-driven environment.

- A collaborative, solutions-focused mindset that thrives in a team environment.

- Bachelor's degree in journalism, communications, or equivalent experience.

Benefits: TEGNA offers comprehensive benefits, including two medical plan options, dental and eye care coverage, fertility, surrogacy, and adoption assistance, disability and life insurance, a 401(k) program with a company match, virtual doctor's appointments, and therapy sessions.
