The Multimedia Journalist (MMJ) is a versatile, bilingual journalist responsible for developing and delivering compelling, accurate, and community-focused journalism across Telemundo Colorado’s broadcast, streaming, digital, and social platforms.
The MMJ owns the storytelling process from pitch to publication — identifying original stories, developing sources, researching and conducting interviews, shooting and editing video, writing and producing stories, reporting live from the field, and adapting journalism for multiple platforms.
The role requires strong editorial judgment, initiative, excellent Spanish-language storytelling skills, a digital-first mindset, and the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with the newsroom.
