What are the responsibilities and job description for the Morning Anchor/Multimedia Journalist, KMGH position at The EW Scripps Company?
KMGH, the E.W. Scripps ABC station in Denver, Colorado is looking for a Morning Anchor who is a reporter first - a dynamic journalist who breathes breaking news and sees the newsroom as a launching pad, not a destination. We want a storyteller who doesn't just read the news, but chases it, lives it, and actively shapes the narrative. Every day, you'll be more than an on-air presence : you'll be pitching in editorial meetings, calling sources, and embedding yourself in the community. The role demands someone who is consistently visible, engaged, and passionate about local storytelling - not a "house cat" waiting for news to arrive, but a field-ready professional who views the anchor desk as just one of many platforms to connect with our audience. If you're a journalist who sees every day as an opportunity to dig deeper, showcase untold stories, and truly represent Denver's heartbeat, KMGH is looking for you.
WHAT YOU WILL DO :
- Anchor morning broadcasts Monday-Friday. Report regularly.
- Generate compelling story ideas tailored for multiple platforms.
- Report live on location from various news events.
- Organize material, and write stories according to prescribed editorial story style, and formats for each of our platforms- including digital.
- Research stories through personal contacts, the internet and other sources deciding the best angle and approach for the story.
- Collaborate effectively with News, Promotion, Production and Engineering on daily broadcast, special projects and online coverage.
- Make community appearances and participate in station-led initiatives.
- Build a network of informational sources to provide exclusive stories for the Scripps brand.
