More info: The Metro reporter will follow political news in
our region--not as the proverbial horse race, but as stories of how lives are
affected by changing policies in our region, from the local and national
level. The Metro reporter works alone
and with the Investigations Desk for accountability reporting, and plays a key
role in our election coverage.
The Metro reporter will produce news stories that may cross
beats at the assignment of the Senior News Editor, and that can be distributed
on KPBS radio, TV, KPBS.org, KPBS social networking and KPBS mobile. KPBS News Reporters have a bevy of options to
employ when providing news content: spot news, feature reports, cut and copy,
live debrief, tape talk, field packages, photos, video, audio, blog posts, and
newscasts. The primary flow of work will
be to start a story online, shoot video on the topic and edit it or work in
partnership with a videographer for longer pieces as needed, and move the
gathered content across all news platforms.
The Metro reporter may be assigned to anchor radio
newscasts, and appear as a guest or host on KPBS TV and radio programs. The Metro reporter will produce local content
