Producer-In-Residence (Various Locations)
TEGNA is excited to announce the 2021 return of the most unique producer development program in the country, Producer-in-Residence! We're in search of 30 outstanding entry-level producers to join our team. This program is for recent college graduates who want to have a career as an innovative broadcast and digital News Producer.
Responsibilities:
The program will involve a one-week producer boot camp in late June 2021 where you'll learn from the best newscast and digital producers in the industry. Then you'll start a two-year full-time placement as a producer at one of 15 TEGNA stations, learning how to produce unique, exciting, shareable content across all platforms while assigned to an innovative show. You'll be paired with another Producer-in-Residence to help you learn and grow together with our station trainers.
This is a chance to get real-world experience producing newscasts and integrating digital and social content. We'll provide the training, experience, and resources. You supply the ambition, creative content, and passionate journalism!
As a Producer-in-Residence, you and your counterpart from the program will receive regular station feedback on your work, consistent corporate training and check-ins on your progress. You'll also have the opportunity to be promoted as a producer in TEGNA at the end of your successful two-year performance.
This is a full-time job, NOT an internship. You sign a two-year contract. It comes with full-time pay and eligibility for benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401K). New hires will need to successfully complete a writing test and background check.
Here's how we make our selections:
- Complete the online application and attach a cover letter and resume that includes education, internship experience, awards, extracurricular activities, and a link(s) to your work, which should include writing samples that showcase your creative writing ability
- Our team will review your application and contact you directly if we believe you would be a great candidate for PIR
- When contacted you will be asked to take a timed writing test so we can judge your skills against other applicants
- Each selected participant will receive a contract and assigned work location. We try to match you to one of your top five station choices among 15 stations across the country.
- If you are not selected for PIR, don't worry! You're still in our candidate pool and may be contacted for future entry level TEGNA producer opportunities.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in journalism, communications or related field
- Strong academic performance (3.2 min. overall GPA)
- Professional initiative as evident through completed internships and/or work experience
- Strong creative writing skills
- Understanding of the tenets of professional journalism
- Proficiency with digital and social media platforms
