What You'll Do:

Champion the consumer: Lead our "Getting Answers" brand by investigating local scams, retail rip-offs, and bureaucratic red tape with a sense of urgency that matches the frustration of our audience.

Master visual storytelling: Use creative, high-impact visuals to break down complex data, crafting stories that are so visually engaging they leave the viewer wanting more.

Tell community stories: Find the human heart in every consumer issue, telling stories that resonate deeply with our local community and drive real change.

Digital fluency: You know how to stop the scroll on social media and understand that "digital-first" isn't just a buzzword—it's how we win.
Relentless curiosity: You don't take "no comment" for an answer, and youre comfortable digging through records to find the truth.
Versatile storytelling: You can write a tight broadcast script, a compelling web article, and an engaging social thread with urgency and ease.
On-air presence: Youre authentic, energetic, and authoritative, whether youre in the field, on the anchor desk, or live streaming from your phone.
