About the position

The Multimedia Journalist at NBCUniversal is a dynamic role that involves shooting, writing, and editing news stories on a daily basis for various broadcasts, including newscasts and recorded programs. This position requires a proactive approach to news gathering and storytelling, as the journalist will work closely with News Producers to brainstorm and develop story ideas.
