Reporter / Weather Forecaster

Local News Reporter / Weather Forecaster

KOAT-TV, the Hearst affiliate in Albuquerque, NM, is looking for a Reporter who can create story ideas, conduct informed interviews, develop sources, and build compelling live shots. You will be a strong, take-charge reporter who hits the ground running every day. We value strong enterprise reporting and we’re looking for someone who finds the stories that lead newscasts. In addition to credibility, poise, and personality, you are not afraid to head out into the field, ask the tough questions and break the big stories. You will be a versatile, enterprising self-starter who is fast, efficient, works well under tight deadlines, can develop sources, and has excellent live reporting skills. In addition to the reporting role, you will be trained to also present on-air weather and you will be assigned weather forecasting shifts. The weather forecasting shifts will be separate from your reporting shifts. You will report to the News Director.
