NEWS ANCHOR/MMJ (AM) - WBBJ
Gray Local Media, Inc, Jackson, TN, United States
Job Summary
WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News in Jackson, Tenn., is looking for an Anchor/Reporter to join the No. 1 AM Team in West Tennessee.
Our anchors connect with the viewers, having an energetic approach to delivering the news. You will need a strong on‑air presence, the ability to carry the show when needed, and the ability to work well with your co‑anchors to build a cohesive and enjoyable team to watch.
This is a great opportunity for a fill‑in or weekend Anchor to move to a high‑profile, Monday‑Friday position. It is also a good opportunity for a Sports Anchor to move into a News Anchor role.
As a Reporter, you will need to be committed to “owning” the story, as well as breaking news/severe weather coverage. This requires candidates to develop their own “beats” and sources. The candidate must be able to carry 40 pounds of gear and have a clean driving record.
Primary job duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the information listed above.
Qualifications
A four‑year degree in broadcast journalism, communications, or related fields is preferred.
A positive attitude and strong work ethic are key to being the right candidate.
