Digital News Producer
The digital news producer will contribute to the creation and production of daily and enterprise news for WUSF.
Using SEO best practices, the producer will curate, prepare and post digital journalism for the WUSF digital audience — including stories from local and national wire services and public media partners — along with copy-editing WUSF stories for AP style and grammar.
They will work alongside the digital news manager in planning and executing our daily newsletter, lending their casual, conversational voice to welcome our subscribers and help them start their day.
The producer will be asked to rewrite news releases, and monitor social media feeds and other media to recognize stories that would be of particular local interest. They will also work with the digital news manager to make our content available to our wider social media audience.
