WPSD Local 6 is hiring: MORNING MULTI-MEDIA JOURNALIST in Paducah

Primary Evening Co‑Anchor
WPSD LOCAL6, the NBC affiliate in the 90th market, has a rare opening for a primary evening co‑anchor to help lead a newsroom full of talented, motivated journalists.

The ideal candidate is a leader, mentor, and compelling storyteller who can connect with our audience across multiple platforms. This position is more than just anchoring our 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m. newscasts. It’s about telling stories that matter most to the people who live in our four‑state region.

We’re looking for a journalist who isn’t afraid to speak truth to power and understands the importance of FOIA, transparency, accountability, and public records. Someone who asks tough questions, pushes for answers, and helps elevate the newsroom’s journalism every day is the candidate we need most.

While you will be teamed with one of the market’s most veteran anchormen, this is very much a leadership role. Our anchors are expected to be newsroom leaders, setting the tone editorially, mentoring younger journalists, and contributing ideas that strengthen our coverage.

Strong writing, shooting, and editing skills are essential. We have an outstanding group of photographers, but we value anchors who are hands‑on and aren’t afraid to pick up a camera when the story calls for it. You should be comfortable reporting in the field, breaking news, and producing enterprise content that goes beyond the daily rundown.

This is an opportunity to make an impact in a newsroom where strong journalism still matters.

Three years of experience is preferred but not required.

You can shoot, go live, write, edit, develop sources, know social media best practices, and are a team player. You are a compelling storyteller and the best writer among your peers.
