We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. Possibly also "About TEGNA" but that's not a section heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The posting includes "About TEGNA" and "About The Role". We should include "About the role" as heading? The "About The Role" is a section with prose. We can include

About the role

then paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Recruiting Fraud Alert, Privacy Notice. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep all substantive info. We need to preserve all substantive information: About TEGNA maybe not needed? It's about company but could be considered background; but instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About TEGNA" is generic company description; could be considered not specific to role. Might be okay to omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Probably we can omit About TEGNA as it's not role-specific. But we might include as a paragraph under About the role? Not needed. Safer to include only sections with role-specific content: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. We must not include Schedule (not present). Skills not separate; qualifications cover. We must use

      . Qualifications list also
        . Benefits list also
          . Pay: just a paragraph maybe. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Preserve all substantive info. Let's extract responsibilities bullet points from text: Responsibilities section includes multiple paragraphs with bullet-like sentences. We need to turn each distinct duty into
