• Make smart, timely editorial decisions in high-pressure situations
• Collaborate closely with reporters, anchors, digital teams, and assignment editors
• Integrate digital and social elements to enhance storytelling and audience reach
• Help define the voice, pace, and style of a brand-new newscast

What We’re Looking For:

• A strong understanding of the Bay Area—its communities, issues, and audiences
