These are crucial roles in the newsroom, and the editors and writers on the news desk are responsible for frequently and effectively communicating news information between reporters, anchors, and the digital team. The position requires a strong ability to write, research, and prepare shows for anchors, ensuring that the news is presented accurately and engagingly. The editors will work closely with the Broadcast Managing Editor to plot the daily news flow, which includes news copy, top stories, live shots (both local and network), and the optimal allocation of reporter resources throughout the day.
