POSTED ON 4/2/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/30/2025
The Multimedia Journalist Reporter produces, reports, shoots, writes, voices, edits and feeds news production content for all platforms in a manner that is clear, engaging and meaningful to news consumers.

WLNS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Lansing, Michigan, seeks a true reporter.

We want someone who wants to find and break big stories and lead the newscast every day. Being a great story finder is as important as being a great storyteller.

We want someone with superior writing skills - who can tell stories in a clear and compelling way - and who understands that way isn't always a straight package.

We want someone who is inquisitive, resourceful, and understands the importance of relationships.

This job is NOT about taking the paper’s big story and doing the TV version of it. Quite the contrary: we want someone who will force the paper to copy off of you.

A degree in journalism or related field is required. So is shooting, editing, and newsroom experience.

Include your resume and a link to your tape on your resume. If you don’t do this, you won’t be considered.

Bonus points for a cover letter that tells us how you found and enterprised a story.
