Sports Anchor/Reporter, Honolulu, HI -- POSITION FILLED

#1 Post by Jon Chelesnik » Mon Feb 06, 2017 3:13 pm

KITV Island News, the ABC affiliate in Honolulu, has an opening for a weekend sports anchor.

This is not a grab-it-from-the-feed kind of job. We need to break stories, become part of the culture, and tell great sports stories through visuals and sound. Expect to shoot much of your own video and be available for all big sports events. You will anchor weekend sportscasts and report during the week.

Knowledge of ENPS and Adobe Premier is a plus. Our anchors produce their own sportscasts and will often shoot and edit their own pieces. Web and social media know-how is also key.

Minimum 4-year college degree preferred.

Does your demo feature the things employers need to see for you to get this job? STAA members should visit the STAA Members site. In the Improve My Job Market Approach column, click on Demos.

Please indicate in your cover letter you learned of this opportunity through Sportscasters Talent Agency of America. Send demo and resume to:

Mike Darrah
News Director
mdarrah@KITV.com

Give yourself the advantage of being among the first to apply for jobs. Receive openings before we post them. You should click here now to join STAA or call 949-648-7822.
