News Anchor/Reporter

Schenectady, NY
Job Description

WRGB/WCWN is seeking a dynamic, full-time Anchor/Reporter who is as comfortable leading a newscast as they are driving meaningful, community-impact reporting. This is not a "read the prompter and go home" role . WRGB is seeking a journalist who sees the anchor desk as a platform for accountability, advocacy, and truth-telling - and who is willing to ask tough questions that hold leaders and institutions accountable on behalf of the people we serve.

In addition to being an outstanding on-air presence with a strong personality and credibility, the successful candidate will be a newsroom leader. Our anchors are not only strong content gatherers, they help shape editorial direction, participate actively in daily planning, and regularly generate original content in the field. A competitive desire to win, intellectual curiosity, and openness to innovation are essential.

This role requires a true anchor/reporter mindset: someone who can pivot seamlessly between the studio, lead from the field, develop sources, own stories from pitch to execution, and deliver journalism that drives conversation and change.

WRGB is looking for someone who thinks story-centric and multiplatform. Engagement beyond the broadcast is critical. We are a digital first station so the ideal candidate embraces social media and digital platforms as has a gather/publish mentality in their reporting. Collaboration across teams is a core expectation.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • Proven leadership skills and newsroom presence
  • Smooth, confident, and credible on-air delivery
  • Strong writing skills, sharp news judgment, and editorial curiosity
  • The ability and willingness to ask difficult, fair, and persistent questions
  • Demonstrated commitment to accountability and community-focused journalism
  • Strong field reporting skills, including shooting and editing when necessary
  • Excellent communication skills, on and off camera
Requirements and Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 3 years of on-air experience as an anchor and/or reporter
  • Self-sufficient content creator who thrives in a collaborative newsroom
  • Willing and able to own a beat, franchise, or issue that serves the public interest
  • Strong live reporting skills, including breaking news and enterprise storytelling
  • Exceptional written communication skills with a clear, conversational style
  • Sound editorial judgment and a proven ethical foundation
  • Ability to contribute across all platforms: broadcast, digital, and social
While applying online, please include a link to your online demo reel
