Fact-Check Reporter/Producer, The National News Desk

Arlington, VA

Job Description
We are looking for a dynamic On-Air, investigative Fact-Check Reporter/Producer for a Washington, D.C.-based national evening newscast. Our goal is to offer audiences on multiple platforms something different. The kind of coverage they care about, the kind that impacts their lives - but that they cannot find anywhere else. We meet audiences where they are.
The ideal candidate is curious with solid news judgment, be a compelling and accurate writer, and be able to multitask and manage their time in order to help contribute to an exciting and informative newscast. We are looking for someone with a clear understanding of how to dig for a story, research it, write it with an edge and use strong storytelling and TV production to make it powerful and memorable on multiple platforms.
Knowledge of the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) process, computer-assisted reporting, and data-driven reporting is a bonus along with familiarity of legal issues related to investigative television news reporting. Strong writing skills and knowledge of current events is essential. Dynamic storytelling skills are a must.
If you are a news "seeker" and content "predator", this is the job for you. This is a highly collaborative environment. The ability to work as part of a team is a must.
Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain contacts and sources in the community to enterprise story ideas
Identify and pitch investigative angles on big daily news stories
Work closely with Producer and Executive Producer to refine investigative pitches and story scripts
Write online versions of investigative reports and produce digital specific content for each investigation
Write & produce one-two hits per day and visually bring the story to life
Regularly front stories on-air on evening program
Ability to go beyond the headlines to ask, investigate, and potentially answer the questions missing from the biggest news topics
Requirements:
Three (3) years of investigative producing experience preferred
History of award-winning investigative journalism preferred
Please note that this position is not eligible for visa sponsorship, including employer sponsorship for an H-1B visa, OPT-STEM employment, etc.
