Research, gather, and verify information through interviews, observation, and field reporting
Write compelling stories aligned with broadcast and AP style standards
Shoot high-quality video and still photography to visually enhance storytelling
Edit video content for broadcast and digital platforms using non-linear editing systems

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

3+ years of experience in a multimedia journalism or related role preferred

Proficiency editing with Final Cut Pro or similar non-linear editing tools
Comfort using newsroom systems and publishing across digital platforms
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Strong news judgment, curiosity, and storytelling instincts
Self-motivation with the ability to work independently in the field
Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams
Ability to lift up to 50 pounds

OUR TEAM: At KBZK, you’ll join a newsroom that values grit, creativity, and authentic connection to the community. We’re a team of storytellers who support each other in the field and behind the scenes, bringing a wide range of perspectives and experiences together to cover the region in a meaningful way. We move fast, celebrate great journalism, and take pride in the work we do every day to serve viewers across Southwest Montana.

WHERE YOU'LL LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY: Bozeman isn’t just a place to work—it’s a lifestyle. Surrounded by the Rocky Mountains and just a short drive from Yellowstone National Park, this is where your days off can include hiking alpine trails, skiing world-class slopes, or fishing blue-ribbon rivers. The city blends small-town warmth with a vibrant food scene, local breweries, and a growing arts and culture community.

Here, your commute might take you past open skies and mountain peaks, and your reporting will take you into communities that value trust, storytelling, and connection. If you’ve ever thought about making a bold move somewhere meaningful, this is your invitation to do just that.
