WGBA, the NBC affiliate owned by The E.W. Scripps Company in Green Bay, is in search of its next Multimedia Journalist. NBC 26 is looking for a Neighborhood reporter in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin—a hidden gem halfway between Green Bay and Milwaukee. Nestled along the south shore of Lake Winnebago, the largest inland lake in the state, Fond du Lac offers a welcoming small-town charm combined with modern amenities. Here, you'll find an array of outdoor activities, from hiking and boating to winter sports - including the famous Sturgeon Spectacular - all set against the backdrop of picturesque landscapes. The community is known for its friendly atmosphere and low cost of living, making it an ideal place for both career growth and personal fulfillment. As a Multimedia Journalist, you will develop sources and break relevant stories on all platforms. Your responsibilities will include pitching, shooting, writing, editing, and tracking compelling enterprise and real-time stories. You will confirm the accuracy of information before publishing, posting, or broadcasting stories, and pitch stories that impact local communities and neighborhoods. You will become an expert in your assigned neighborhood, produce packaged reports, and go live from the scene when necessary. Additionally, you will help news producers prepare newscasts by identifying the best video and sound, and showcasing elements. A digital-first mindset is essential, as you will publish and post regular updates as information dictates and act as the point person for the digital landing pages for your community.
