MMJ/REPORTER - WHNS

About the role

FOX Carolina is looking for a high-energy Reporter/MMJ who doesn't just "cover" stories but owns them. We need a journalist who can think on their feet, develop community roots, and deliver impactful storytelling across every screen.

Responsibilities

• Respond with urgency and authority to developing stories, ensuring our audience is the first to know and the best informed.
• Sell, shoot, write, and edit stories that go beyond the surface to show how local events impact the lives of our viewers.
• Write and post engaging content for our digital and social channels platforms.
• Enterprise unique stories: Don't just wait for a press release; develop sources and pitch original "only-on-FOX" stories every single day. Look for the lead story.
• Bring energy and clarity to your live reporting, making viewers feel like they are right there on the scene with you.
• Work closely with our award-winning newsroom team to shape daily editorial decisions and long-term strategic coverage.
• Maintain the highest standards of integrity and editorial judgment in everything you produce.

Qualifications

• A digital-first mindset: You understand that "the story" lives on social media, our app, and our website just as much as it does on broadcast.
• MMJ versatility: shoot, edit (EDIUS experience is a plus!), and present with professional polish.
• Strong communication, organizational, and time-management skills.
• Investigative curiosity: You have a natural "need to know" and the persistence to dig deeper into the stories that matter.
• Outstanding Writing Skills & Dynamic Live Presence.
• Flexibility: You’re ready to jump in when the big story breaks, whether that means weekends, overnights, or staying through severe weather.
• You believe that news is a team sport and you bring a positive, "can-do" attitude to the newsroom every day.
• A degree in journalism or a related field and a reel that proves you can do it all.
• Minimum 2 years of reporting experience. (MVR check required).
