We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting: It starts with company description (NBCUniversal...). That could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is usually a summary of the job. The posting includes a job description after "Job Description". So we can treat that as About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph(s) describing the role: "Telemundo 20 San Diego (KUAN) and NBC 7 San Diego (KNSD) are seeking an experienced, strategic, and innovative News Director to lead the content strategy and day-to-day news operation for Telemundo 20 while overseeing weather and sports content across the San Diego duopoly. Reporting directly to the Vice President of News, this leader will be responsible for Telemundo 20's local news operation across broadcast, streaming, digital, social, and emerging platforms. In addition, the News Director will provide strategic leadership for weather and sports content across both NBC 7 and Telemundo 20, ensuring consistent execution, audience growth, multiplatform innovation, and excellence in coverage of the stories and events that matter most to San Diego audiences. This role requires a deep understanding of the unique dynamics of the San Diego-Tijuana region and a commitment to serving one of the most vibrant binational communities in North America. The successful candidate will bring a binational news mindset, recognizing that the stories, issues, and audiences of San Diego and Tijuana are deeply interconnected." That's substantive. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Responsibilities" section with subpoints: Editorial Leadership & Strategy, Duopoly Weather & Sports Leadership, Operations & Community Engagement. Each has bullet points. We need to output
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list each bullet as
  • . Possibly we can group under subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we cannot add custom headings like "Editorial Leadership & Strategy". However we could still include them as part of
  • text. The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So we can have a

      Responsibilities

      then a
        with
      • items covering each bullet. We should preserve all substantive info; we can combine bullet points into list items. - Requirements: There's "Qualifications" and "Desired Qualifications" and "Eligibility Requirements" and "Additional Requirements". The instruction says use headings Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have: Qualifications (required): Bachelor's degree..., Minimum five years..., Demonstrated success..., Experience overseeing..., Proven ability..., Fluent in Spanish and English... Desired Qualifications: Deep understanding..., Demonstrated success..., Experience leading..., Experience managing..., Strong editorial judgment..., Excellent people leadership..., Strategic thinker..., Experience working in a duopoly... Eligibility Requirements: Must be willing to work on-site..., Must be available to work flexible hours..., Must have unrestricted authorization... Additional Requirements: Required On-Site..., This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits..., Salary range: $150,000-200,000 (bonus eligible) Also there is Benefits: "This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks." Pay: Salary range. Schedule: Not explicitly given; maybe flexible hours etc. Could be under Eligibility Requirements: "Must be available to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as news coverage demands." That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with that. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Thus sections: - About the role (intro paragraph) - Responsibilities (list) - Qualifications (maybe combine Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications? But we have separate headings Qualifications and Skills? Actually we have Qualifications and Skills as possible headings. We could put required qualifications under Qualifications, desired under Skills? Or we could put all under Qualifications and leave Skills empty? Better to split: Qualifications = required qualifications; Skills = desired qualifications (or skills). But the instruction says use headings as examples; we can choose which to include based on content. So we can have Qualifications (required) and Skills (desired). Also we have Requirements heading; maybe we can put Eligibility Requirements under Requirements. And Additional Requirements (On-site, benefits, salary) maybe under Benefits and Pay. Let's map: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: essential responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements: Eligibility Requirements (must be willing to work on-site, flexible hours, unrestricted authorization). Also maybe "Required On-Site: This position is required to be performed full-time from an NBCUniversal-designated worksite." That's also eligibility. - Qualifications: Required Qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 5 years experience, demonstrated success, experience overseeing breaking news, proven ability to coach, fluent Spanish/English). - Skills: Desired Qualifications (deep understanding of border communities, demonstrated success developing content strategies for multicultural/cross-border audiences, experience leading multiplatform news operations, experience managing weather/sports/specialty content teams, strong editorial judgment, passion for local journalism, excellent people leadership, organizational, communication skills, strategic thinker, audience growth/engagement, experience working in duopoly/multiplatform operation). - Benefits: "This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks." - Pay: "Salary range: $150,000-200,000 (bonus eligible)" - Schedule: "Must be available to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as news coverage demands." Also maybe "Must be willing to work on-site in San Diego, California." That's location not schedule. But schedule we have flexible hours. We must not repeat job title. Also we must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that. We must preserve all substantive information. Ensure we don't lose any details. Let's extract each piece precisely. About the role paragraph: We'll copy exactly as in posting but maybe trim extra spaces. We'll keep sentences. Responsibilities: Need to list bullet points from Essential Responsibilities. Essential Responsibilities section includes three headings with bullet points under each. Let's extract: Editorial Leadership & Strategy: - Lead the binational content strategy for Telemundo 20 across broadcast, streaming, digital, social, and emerging platforms. - Protect and grow audience trust by ensuring journalism consistently reflects the station's brand values, editorial standards, and commitment to serving the San Diego-Tijuana community. - Lead Spanish-language breaking news, enterprise reporting, investigative journalism, special projects, and major event coverage while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, fairness, and journalistic excellence. - Foster a culture of innovation, urgency, creativity, and multiplatform storytelling that responds to evolving audience behaviors and content consumption habits.

We'll put each as
      • . Requirements (Eligibility Requirements): - Must be willing to work on-site in San Diego, California. - Must be available to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as news coverage demands. - Must have unrestricted authorization to work in the United States. Also Additional Requirements: "Required On-Site: This position is required to be performed full-time from an NBCUniversal-designated worksite." This is similar to first eligibility but more specific. We could combine: "Must be willing to work on-site in San Diego, California. This position is required to be performed full-time from an NBCUniversal-designated worksite." We'll keep both. Qualifications (Required): - Bachelor's degree in Journalism, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. - Minimum five years of newsroom leadership experience, including News Director, Assistant News Director, Executive Producer, or comparable management experience. - Demonstrated success leading content strategy and managing teams in a competitive television news environment. - Experience overseeing breaking news coverage and major live-event execution. - Proven ability to coach, motivate, and develop high-performing teams. - Fluent in Spanish and English with strong written and verbal communication skills.

Pay: - Salary range: $150,000-200,000 (bonus eligible) Schedule: - Must be available to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as news coverage demands. We could also mention "Must be willing to work on-site in San Diego, California." but that's more location than schedule; we already have under Requirements. We must not include fluff like "Learn more about the benefits offered by NBCUniversal by visiting the Benefits page of the Careers website." That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "Interested candidates must apply through NBCUniversal Careers." etc. Also remove "Additional Information As part of our selection process, external candidates may be required to attend an in-person interview..." etc. That's boilerplate. Also remove EEO etc. Now produce HTML fragment: start with
