Morgan Murphy Media is excited to announce openings for Multi-Media Journalist positions as part of our newly developed J365 program. This program is specifically designed for recent journalism school graduates and aims to provide a comprehensive foundation for a successful career in journalism. The J365 program is an intensive developmental initiative that includes a structured monthly curriculum of training modules focused on essential skills such as storytelling, writing, shooting, editing, and lighting. Participants will also learn how to understand their audience and differentiate between story plans and story pitches, as well as how to effectively work across different dayparts, including AM, dayside, and nightside reporting. In addition to the technical skills, the program emphasizes personal development, offering mentorship from experienced professionals across Morgan Murphy Media. Participants will engage in goal setting, conflict resolution, and strengths assessment to enhance their professional growth. This unique first job experience is unlike any other found in traditional newsrooms, providing not only top-notch training but also opportunities for fast-tracked mobility within the company. The comfort and safety of working for a family-owned business further enrich the experience, making it a supportive environment for new journalists. As part of KOAM TV, a CBS affiliate station located in Joplin, MO/Pittsburg, KS, participants will be involved in breaking news, investigative reporting, and local sports coverage. KOAM TV is a trusted partner in the Four State Area, ensuring that its reporting is not only award-winning but also integral to the community it serves. This role offers a competitive annual salary along with full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, as well as paid time off and student loan payback bonuses up to $15,750 over three years. Joining the J365 program is an excellent opportunity to implement the skills learned in college and internships while preparing for future career stages in journalism.
