Experienced Reporter Job at News-Press & Gazette Company

News-Press & Gazette Company El Paso, TX 79902

KVIA-TV is looking for a solid journalist, a dogged enterpriser, a creative storyteller - all in one person.

Seasoned candidates must have the skills usually acquired after at least three years in the business. That's the minimum skill level. You must not only have strong news judgment and solid writing skills, but a natural curiosity to follow news all the time. All.The.Time.

You must be able to multitask in a high-stress, fast-pace environment and thirst to use new technology to share your stories. While we have photographers on staff, you should be able to shoot and edit your own story. Website and social media contributions are woven into your workflow.

It's hard work and we have high expectations, no question about it. But it's also true that we cover our community with passion and heart, and it's incredibly rewarding.

A quick word about el Paso: it's currently the 19th largest city in the country, and going through major growth with more than a billion dollars in new construction in the horizon. There are more than 800,000 people in El Paso County, and another 175,000+ in and around Las Cruces, New Mexico, 40 miles to our north. We're a major metro area, in that there are about 1.5 million or more people right across the river in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. We have two NCAA Division I universities, minor league baseball and soccer teams, a symphony, lots of concerts from small club acts to music festivals. We're home to the Army's largest military installations (White Sands Missile Range & Fort Bliss), and as we sit right on the border, security, trade and immigration are local news for us. Yes, it's a GREAT news market!

KVIA is a legacy station, a market leader. Our family-owned company constantly reinvests in great equipment and we have a very generous 401k program. We're flexible and push ourselves to stay on top. So much so, that our employees go straight to top stations in markets like Los Angeles, Chicago and Pittsburgh.

The person I'm looking for should have a proven record of delivering breaking news, uncovering extra information on daily stories and using open records requests to augment his/her reporting. Show me why you're the one I should hire!

To apply please submit your resume, a link to your work and a cover letter detailing what skills or experiences separate you from the rest of the candidates. Please include your salary requirement.

You will find the application site at kvia.com/jobs.

The job is contingent upon successful completion of a drug test and background check.

Good Luck!
