KPCW is looking for a Reporter/Anchor
Want to work in a world-class resort town with an international economy covering everything from skiing and Sundance to breaking news, crime and the environment? KPCW is Park City’s NPR affiliate and our dynamic newsroom is the Wasatch Back's top source for what's happening up in the mountains. We offer competitive pay, excellent benefits and a collaborative, music-filled newsroom.
Responsibilities

- Build contacts and sources
- Write and produce reports for on-air and digital platforms
- Attend meetings and produce news assigned by the News Director
- Occasionally contribute to live reports as news dictates
Planning
- Follow local and regional news along with relevant people and publications.

- Participate in the hive mind creativity of story and program origination with news team, supervisors and station staff.
Administration
- You’ll keep excellent records.
- You’ll join the party and help with fundraising campaigns and community-building events.
Other
- You need to manage tight deadlines and make solid decisions in rapidly-changing situations.
- You’ll collaborate constantly with your team under the News Director’s supervision.
- You’ll work hard to inform the community about the issues that affect them most.
- You will have a LOT of fun (staff lunches, costume parties and homemade birthday cakes, to name a few office highlights) and you’ll know more about what’s going on in town than anyone outside the building.
- Reporter schedules vary (early mornings on some days, evenings on other days, midnight oil during elections, participate in on-call weekend reporter rotation.).
Experience
- College degree in journalism or related field required.
- Prior news experience and fluency in Spanish preferred.
- Strong candidates possessing some but not all preferred experience will receive consideration.
