Multi - Media Journalist in Training

WOOD News 8 is looking for a promising journalist to join the top-rated news team in West Michigan, in a position structured to provide training, guidance and mentoring. The ideal candidate brings some experience from a smaller market, but who has a desire to develop and improve their skills. Producers or Photographers who want to transition their career path are encouraged to apply. The MMJ in Training will work under the guidance of the Assistant News Director and will be assigned a mentor. A successful candidate must be willing to accept advice, suggestions, encouragement and corrections. They will work closely with our Photojournalists, Producers, Assignment Editors and web producers. We work together as a team; we win together as a team. This is a new position for a television station that does not typically hire MMJs or Reporters with limited experience. Candidates must have a desire to learn and a willingness to be patient. We will not put you “on air” until news managers are confident you are ready.
