Morning Web Journalist

WHDH is hiring a full-time morning web journalist to help manage the station’s news presence online, both on whdh.com and on social media. Come join our team!
 
Responsibilities: This journalist will work a Monday through Friday early morning through early afternoon shift, so an ability to work independently is a must. The role entails scanning social media and other sources for story ideas and tips, writing and publishing stories, cutting video clips to accompany those stories, posting breaking news via social media and alerts, and setting the web team up for the day. Candidates should also be comfortable using SEO best practices to write headlines and alerts and select photos for stories.
 
Candidates should have at least 1-2 years of professional experience in journalism. Candidates should be adept multitaskers comfortable with working in a fast-paced, breaking news environment. WordPress experience and a college degree are strongly preferred, as is knowledge of the Boston market. Knowledge of Photoshop, basic HTML and web analytics is a plus.
 
This job is 100% on-site in the station’s downtown Boston office.
 
HOW TO APPLY: Submit resume to human_resources@whdh.com or fax to 617-248-0653 or mail to WHDH-TV, HR, 7 Bulfinch Place, Boston MA, 02114. Please refer to the job number you are applying for.
