About the role

This role leads editorial direction for Spanish-language newscasts that run across several platforms. The managing editor also anchors, so the person in it sets the standard for story selection and on-air delivery. It is a leadership position, not an entry-level one.

  • Anchor Spanish-language newscasts across broadcast and other platforms
  • Approve scripts before they air
  • Develop and shape news stories with the newsroom
  • Apply editorial judgment to current events and story priorities
  • Lead and guide newsroom staff
  • Represent the station at community events

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of on-air experience
  • Exceptional communication skills in both English and Spanish
  • Strong editorial judgment and knowledge of current events
  • Demonstrated leadership qualities

Nice to have

The posting states no citizenship restriction. An employer like this or a U.S. agent could file the petition, and approval depends on the individual's evidence.
