We are seeking an exceptional journalist and compelling communicator to join Colorado's news leader as co-anchor of our #1 weekday evening newscasts and our market-leading 10 p.m. broadcast.

This is more than an anchor position. We are looking for a journalist who thrives in breaking news, brings credibility and curiosity to every story, leads by example in the newsroom, and builds meaningful connections with viewers across every platform.

- Collaborate closely with producers, reporters, meteorologists, photojournalists, and newsroom leadership to create best-in-class journalism.

- Contribute strong editorial judgment and help guide critical newsroom decisions.

- Write, edit, and approve content under tight deadlines while maintaining high journalistic standards.

- Develop original story ideas and enterprise reporting opportunities that resonate with Colorado audiences.

- Work directly with photojournalists to craft compelling, memorable stories.

- Serve as a field anchor during breaking news, major events, and special coverage.

- Create daily digital and streaming content, including short-form video and audience-focused storytelling.

- Fill in on additional broadcasts, including evening anchoring duties on KTVD, as needed.

- Represent 9NEWS throughout the community and champion causes that make a meaningful difference in Colorado.

## What You Bring:

- A passion for journalism and a commitment to serving audiences with trusted, fact-based reporting.

- Exceptional live anchoring skills and commanding on-air presence.

- The ability to engage in authentic, spontaneous conversation and create memorable viewer moments.

- Strong news judgment and a proven track record of handling breaking news coverage.

- Excellent writing, reporting, and storytelling skills across multiple platforms.

- A collaborative spirit and the ability to elevate teammates and newsroom culture.

- Curiosity, creativity, and a desire to continually innovate.

- A deep understanding of journalistic ethics, accuracy, fairness, and accountability.

## Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications, or a related field preferred.

- Five to seven plus years of experience in professional television news, including significant anchoring experience.

- Proven success in a competitive news environment.

- Demonstrated ability to connect with audiences across broadcast, digital, streaming, and social platforms.
