FOX is hiring: News Photographer (R50032254) in Atlanta
FOX, Atlanta, GA, United States
JOB DESCRIPTION
In the fast‑paced world of Top 10 market news, the Videojournalist is the eyes, ears, and voice of our coverage. We are looking for a visual storyteller who can do it all: shoot cinematic video, edit under intense deadline pressure, and provide compelling live narration for both broadcast and streaming platforms. This is not a "behind‑the‑scenes" only role. You will be on the front lines of breaking news, often working independently to gather interviews and provide real‑time audio/video reporting for our digital audience.
The Role: What You’ll Do
End‑to‑end production of news stories from initial shutter click to final live transmission.
Shoot high‑quality video, audio, and stills in the field, newsroom, and studio using creative photography and lighting techniques.
Present extended, unscripted live content for our streaming platforms. Often work solo, using a smartphone and professional accessories to narrate live events as they unfold.
Collect information and conduct interviews at the scene of news events to ensure reporting is deep, accurate, and first.
Operate live transmission equipment (bonded cellular, etc.) and maintain all assigned gear to ensure it is always "air‑ready".
Partner with reporters and producers to craft compelling packages and live shots that stand out in a crowded media landscape.
Contribute breaking news information, stills, and video clips to the station's website and social media channels in real time.
What You Bring to the Table
Expert‑level news videography and non‑linear editing skills with a proven ability to meet tight deadlines.
Previous experience with on‑camera or audio‑only narration is a significant plus.
Ability to deal effectively and politely with the public, government officials, and station staff, even in high‑pressure situations.
Flexible mindset ready to pivot as news breaks and business priorities evolve.
Proficiency with newsroom computer systems (or the ability to learn them quickly) and live broadcast hardware.
Education & Experience
Minimum of three (3) years of experience as a News Videojournalist (or equivalent) in a commercial television news department.
Bachelor's degree from a four‑year college or university is preferred.
Must have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
Benefits
Pursuant to state and local pay disclosure requirements, the pay rate/range for this role, with final offer amount dependent on education, skills, experience, and location is $33.65-36.06 per hour. This role is also eligible for various benefits, including medical/dental/vision, insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and other benefits in accordance with applicable plan documents. Benefits for union‑represented employees will be in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
Equal Opportunity Employment
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories consistent with applicable law.
