Sinclair Broadcast Group is hiring: Fact Check Team On-Air Producer in Arlington

We are looking for a dynamic Investigative On-Air News Producer for a Washington, D.C.-based national evening newscast. Our goal is to offer audiences on multiple platforms something different — impactful coverage they cannot find elsewhere.

The ideal candidate will have solid news judgment, be a compelling and accurate writer, and be able to multitask and manage their time effectively to contribute to an engaging and informative newscast. They should understand how to dig for stories, research thoroughly, write with an edge, and use strong storytelling and TV production skills to make content powerful and memorable across platforms. Knowledge of the FOIA process, computer-assisted reporting, data-driven reporting, and familiarity with legal issues related to investigative television news are required. Strong writing skills and knowledge of current events are essential. Dynamic storytelling skills are a must.

If you are a news "seeker" and content "predator," this is the job for you. This environment is highly collaborative, and the ability to work well as part of a team is essential.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain contacts and sources to generate story ideas
• Identify and pitch investigative and fact-checking angles on major news stories
• Collaborate with the Director of Content and Executive Producer to refine pitches and scripts
• Write online versions of investigative reports and produce digital content for each story
• Perform other duties as assigned
• Conduct regular on-air broadcasts and create social media videos

Requirements:

• 2-3 years of investigative producing experience preferred
• Experience with award-winning investigative journalism preferred
• Strong storytelling ability to make complex topics understandable
• Proficiency with tools like graphics, videos, and social media to enhance stories
• Ability to generate story ideas and evaluate viewer tips
• Excellent writing and storytelling skills
• Inquisitiveness and interest in holding government accountable
