KETV is accepting applications for a full-time Reporter/MMJ to work a Monday through Friday shift contributing to our top-rated First News morning newscast.

As an MMJ, you would be responsible for creating content and working with other KETV journalists to produce daily news material for our broadcasts and digital platforms.

The winning candidate will be aggressive, enthusiastic, and eager to try new things. We want someone who will contribute to our digital platforms as well.

Entry-level applicants with a background in journalism will be considered.

Duties include:
• Generating story ideas
• Shooting and editing video on deadline, shooting and reporting live reports from the field.
