NBC Bay Area is looking for an experienced, versatile and innovative journalist who can report and tell compelling stories across television, streaming, digital and social platforms.

This is a true multiplatform reporting role for a journalist with a proven track record in both broadcast reporting and digital/social storytelling. We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable reporting live from the scene of breaking news, independently shooting and producing a television story, creating and editing vertical video for social media, developing an explainer that makes a complicated topic easier to understand, or joining a newscast to provide insight into what people are talking about online.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned journalist and natural storyteller who understands that audiences consume news differently across platforms and knows how to adapt their reporting and storytelling accordingly. This person should be a social native with excellent editorial judgment, a strong and engaging on-camera presence and the ability to independently report, shoot, write, edit, produce and publish high-quality content quickly.

Responsibilities

• Report, shoot, write and edit general assignment, enterprise and breaking news stories for NBC Bay Area newscasts in an MMJ role as needed. 
• Report and produce original journalism for NBC Bay Area's digital, streaming and social platforms.
• Develop, produce, shoot, edit and front social-first news briefs and short-form video content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, leveraging mobile and field production tools to deliver high-quality, platform-native storytelling. 
• Provide fast social-first coverage of breaking news, major local stories, community and sporting events, and other high-profile assignments by delivering in-the-moment reporting and digital updates from the field and newsroom.
• Develop compelling social explainer content that breaks down complex stories and issues, helping audiences understand what is happening and why it matters.
• Publish content directly to NBC Bay Area's social platforms, quickly tailoring storytelling, presentation, pacing, visuals and other elements to the audience and conventions of each platform rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Serve as a digital correspondent within newscasts, providing insight and context around stories, conversations, trends and topics gaining attention online.
• Collaborate with reporters, anchors, producers, photographers, editors and digital and social teams while also being capable of independently taking a story from idea to publication.
• Maintain NBC Bay Area's journalistic and editorial standards across all platforms, including during fast-moving breaking news situations.
• Experiment with emerging storytelling formats, tools and platform features as technology and audience habits evolve.
