NEWS PRODUCER (PRIMARY) - KHNL
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. Content includes: - About Gray Media: description of company, benefits, etc. - Focus on Caring Salary/Wage: $50,000 - $65,000/yr (DOE) - Shift and Schedule: Schedule Varies - Job Type: Full-Time - Job Summary/Description: KGMB (CBS), KHNL (NBC), and K5 are seeking a Producer. Hawaii News Now is the state's dominant multimedia news organization. This person must be able to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.

This includes a leading presence on Facebook, Twitter, hawaiinewsnow.com, as well as Instagram. - Duties/Responsibilities (but not limited to) the following: The successful candidate will also produce a variety of newscasts. We are looking for candidates with experience as a line producer in a competitive news market, including working with anchors, LIVE reporters, and directors.

This is boilerplate, we must remove. - Also earlier: "Our additional media properties include video production companies Raycom Sports, Tupelo Media Group, and PowerNation Studios, and studio production facilities Assembly Atlanta and Third Rail Studios." That's part of About Gray Media. - Also: "We understand that life needs balance. That is why we offer our employees and eligible family members a comprehensive benefits package, including: Comprehensive Medical(Rx), Dental, and Vision Coverage Health Savings Account with Company contributions Flexible Spending Account Employer-paid life and disability benefits Paid parental leave benefits Adoption and Surrogacy Benefits 401(k) Plan, including matching and profit-sharing contributions Employee Assistance Program Voluntary benefits, including Hospital Indemnity, Critical Illness, Accident Insurance, and supplemental life insurance coverage Paid Time Off, including Relocation PTO" Thus we have benefits details. We have Pay: $50,000 - $65,000/yr (DOE). That's specific, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: "Schedule Varies" is placeholder/vague; we should not create Schedule section if it's just "Schedule Varies" (that's placeholder). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Schedule Varies, but that is vague; but it's still stated. However they say never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So "Schedule Varies" is placeholder, we should not create a Schedule section. So we omit Schedule. Benefits: we have detailed benefits, so we can include Benefits section. Pay: we have specific range, so include Pay. About the role: we have Job Summary/Description; we could treat that as About the role or Job Summary. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills? Not explicitly listed but could be derived; but we should not invent. So we stick to sections with actual content. We also have About Gray Media description; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "About the company". But the instruction only lists those example headings; we could still use About the role for job summary, and maybe include a brief About the company as a paragraph before sections? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." It doesn't forbid other headings not listed, but says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those headings; we can include About the role (job summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills? Not needed. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the About Gray Media description somewhere. Could be placed in a
before sections, or as part of About the role? The About the role heading is for job summary; but we could also include a paragraph about the company before the heading. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but to be safe we can include a
about the company before the sections. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions (like "go to https://gray.tv/careers#currentopenings..."), duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal. Also remove "Additional Info:" etc. We must preserve all substantive information: company description, benefits, pay, job summary, duties/responsibilities, qualifications/requirements. We must not include placeholder text like "Schedule Varies". So we omit schedule. We must not include "Job Type: Full-Time" maybe we could include as a short
metadata? It's minor metadata; we could fold into a short
or drop it. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a
with "Job Type: Full-Time". But maybe better to drop it as it's minor. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; is "Full-Time" substantive? It's a detail about job type. Could be considered substantive. But we could include it in a
before sections. Similarly "Focus on Caring Salary/Wage: $50,000 - $65,000/yr (DOE)" we already have Pay. We also have "Shift and Schedule: Schedule Varies" we drop schedule. We also have "Job Summary/Description:" we treat as About the role. We also have "Duties/Responsibilities (but not limited to) the following:" we treat as Responsibilities. We also have "Qualifications/Requirements:" we treat as Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings; we can choose one. Since the heading says Qualifications/Requirements, we could use Requirements (or Qualifications). Let's use Requirements. We also have "Experience with ENPS and Edius editing is a plus." etc. We also have "College degree in journalism or related experience is required." etc. We also have "Must be able to work extra hours, holidays, etc." etc. We also have "Must have a valid driver's license." We also have "If you feel you’re qualified and want to work with a great group of people, go to https://gray.tv/careers#currentopenings, you may type in the job title, station call letters, or click on "apply now", upload your resume, cover letter, and references (Current employees who are interested in this position can apply through the Gray-TV UltiPro self-service portal)" This is application instructions; we must remove. We also have "KHNL-TV/Gray Media is a drug-free company" maybe minor; could be folded into a short
or drop. It's substantive? It's a policy; but maybe minor. We could include as a short
but it's not required. I'd drop it as it's not essential to role. We also have the EEO boilerplate; remove. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:
About Gray Media: ...
About the role
Job summary paragraph.
Responsibilities
- ... each duty as li
Requirements
- ... each requirement as li
Benefits

Pay
$50,000 - $65,000/yr (DOE)
Potentially also include Job Type: Full-Time as abefore sections. We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details. Let's extract details.
