Why Work for 4 News Now?
Because we care about you and your life outside of work just as much as we value the work you do in the newsroom and in the community each day. We’re here to help you grow in your career and will train you to tap into your creative side while also spotlighting the news in our community. We’re a family-owned company and a newsroom where the mantra “take care of the team” guides everything we do.

You’ll be a part of our morning news team, with the most experienced anchor team and reporters and producers who love what we do and why we do it.

We’ll teach you how to operate LiveU equipment and also how to turn an interview and some b-roll into compelling news content to air on TV and digital platforms. You’ll be up before the sun, but also have your afternoons, evenings and weekends free to explore all that the Inland Northwest has to offer. Your voice will matter in making daily decisions about news coverage and creative ways to tell stories.
What you’ll bring:
A 4-year degree and/or equivalent work experience is preferred, but we’re ready to train you if you’re eager and excited to do the job. It’s great if you have basic knowledge of broadcast quality camera equipment and some editing experience.
