  • Researching, writing and producing coverage, as necessary
  • Providing clear and productive notes on scripts and videos in edit
  • Ensuring that all journalistic and legal standards are followed at all times
  • Ability to work late hours and weekends, when news developments warrant
  • Completing additional duties as assigned
