Trending/Breaking/Video Reporter
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So I should only use those headings. I can include company info under "About the role".
Let me structure:
- About the role
-
Company description (condensed? but preserve substantive info). The posting has a long paragraph about USA TODAY Co. I'll include it as a paragraph. -
Role description: "The Trending/Breaking/Video Reporter will cover..." etc. -
Responsibilities
-- ... each duty as list item.
-
Requirements
(or Qualifications? The instructions list both. I'll use Requirements for must-haves, Qualifications for preferred? But the posting doesn't clearly separate. I'll combine into Requirements and maybe Skills.) -Skills
for specific skills. -Schedule
for the Tues-Sat mention. No Benefits, Pay sections. Now, I need to extract all duties into a list. Let me parse the text: From the posting: - Cover a wide and fast-moving range of topics, including: Crime and public safety; Traffic and weather developments; Breaking business news, including openings and closings; High-interest, trending topics of the day - Quickly identify and execute on timely, high-interest news - Be first in market on major breaking stories whenever possible - Support ReNewsing Florida state news initiatives - Contribute to Connect team coverage, ensuring strong collaboration across the network - Be on top of breaking news and what's trending each day - Write multiple times per day - Shoot video and photos - Be among the newsroom's top pageview producers - Create quick videos and photo galleries for almost every story - Produce video-only content at times - Access public records (such as police reports and body-camera and surveillance video) - Build sources - Conduct interviews - Find, analyze and interpret data - Understand analytics, including Google Trends - Be active on social channels to identify emerging topics and audience interests - Request user-generated content from social platforms and other sources - Embrace artificial intelligence as a tool to improve reporting and efficiency - Localize national and state stories for audience - Work with other reporters and editors to create alternate URLs from existing stories - Occasionally report in the field on topics ranging from business openings and closings to major breaking news, including hurricanes and tent-pole events - Work schedule may include Tuesdays through Saturdays That's a lot. I'll put them as list items under Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: The posting doesn't have a explicit "Requirements" section, but the description implies required skills. I'll infer from the responsibilities: fundamental skills of a reporter (accessing public records, building sources, conducting interviews, finding/analyzing/interpreting data); understanding analytics including Google Trends; active on social channels; embracing AI; ability to localize stories; field reporting; video/photo skills; ability to write multiple times per day; collaboration skills. I'll create a Requirements section with these as list items. Skills section could be more specific: video production, photography, data analysis, Google Trends, social media monitoring, AI tools, public records research, source development, interviewing, content localization, CMS/alternate URL creation. But maybe combine Requirements and Skills? The instructions allow both. I'll do Requirements for core qualifications, Skills for technical proficiencies. Schedule: "The schedule may include working Tuesdays through Saturdays." That's a specific schedule detail. Now, the company description: "USA TODAY Co., Inc. is a diversified media company with expansive reach at the national and local level dedicated to empowering and enriching communities. We seek to inspire, inform, and connect audiences as a sustainable, growth focused media and digital marketing solutions company. Through our trusted brands, including the USA TODAY NETWORK, comprised of the national publication, USA TODAY, and local media organizations, including our network of local properties, in the United States, and Newsquest, a wholly-owned subsidiary operating in the United Kingdom, we provide essential journalism, local content, and digital experiences to audiences and businesses. We deliver high-quality, trusted content with a commitment to balanced, unbiased journalism, where and when consumers want to engage. Our digital marketing solutions brand, LocaliQ, supports small and medium-sized businesses with innovative digital marketing products and solutions." That's substantive. I'll include it as a paragraph under About the role. Also the role description paragraph: "The Trending/Breaking/Video Reporter will cover a wide and fast-moving range of topics..." I'll include that as another paragraph. Now, I must not include the internal employee note, the external job board warning, the how to apply section, the EEO statement, accommodation info, authorization to work. Let me write the HTML. I'll start withAbout the role
