Job Summary/Description:

Are you the kind of person who is naturally curious about the world around you? KTTC in Rochester, MN, is looking for a high-energy Multimedia Journalist (MMJ) who is ready to start their career by making a real impact. We’re not just looking for an employee; we’re looking for a storyteller who is eager to share facts, seek the truth, and own the news cycle across every screen-from the TV in the living room to the phone in the palm of a viewer's hand.

Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

What You'll Do:

• Own the news cycle: Gather, shoot, and edit high-impact content for multiple platforms, ensuring our audience stays informed.
• Pitch with purpose: Come ready to the editorial meeting with researched ideas pitched through Microsoft Teams. You’ll have already made the calls and prearranged interviews to hit the ground running.
• Master the multi-platform: Write and adapt stories for different screens-from the morning news to quick social updates and deep-dive web articles.
• Report live from the scene: Be the first on the ground when news breaks, delivering authoritative and calm live reports that keep our viewers connected.
• Verify and validate: Gather and verify factual information through interviews, observation, and deep research-because accuracy is our foundation.
• Manage your time: Take charge of your daily workflow-from getting out the door for fresh video to editing your final masterpiece before the deadline hits.
• Stay agile: Update stories as they evolve and be ready to fill in on different shifts when the news demands it.

Why You'll Love It Here:

• A launchpad for your career: Join a young, energetic newsroom led by anchors with decades of experience who are eager to mentor the next generation of journalists.
• Growth every day: We believe feedback should happen in real time, not just during a yearly review. You’ll grow faster here than anywhere else.
• Innovation focus: KTTC is evolving on purpose-we’re serious about the future of media and want you to help shape it.
• Community impact: Tell stories that actually matter to the people of Rochester and the surrounding area.
• Supportive culture: We value scrappiness and digital innovation, but we also value our people. You’ll have the tools and the team to do your best work.

Qualifications/Requirements:

What You Bring:

• The mindset: Above all else, a relentless desire to learn, seek the truth, and share stories that matter.
• Strong writing chops: You craft scripts and articles that are tight, clear, and compelling (AP style is your best friend).
• Technical potential: While we can teach you to shoot and edit video, a familiarity with camera equipment and systems like ENPS or Edius is a great head start.
• Self-motivated hustle: The ability to work independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment without breaking a sweat.
• Versatility: You can manage multiple projects at once and pivot quickly when breaking news hits.
• A valid driver’s license: You’re ready to hit the road and go where the story takes you.
• Human qualities: Empathy for the stories you tell, urgency in how you tell them, and the flexibility to roll with the punches of a dayside shift.

Ready to start your journey and own the news cycle in Rochester? Let’s create something amazing together.
