From Twitter to Facebook to websites, do you think you know how to tell a good story? WPBN & WGTU TV is looking for a web-savvy newshound to take the station to the next level by helping them learn how to transform good broadcast content into excellent interactive web content. We need someone who is both an avid Internet user as well as a total geek about social media.
Impeccable writing, grammar and diction are essential, but so is knowing how to interact with our web audience in a manner that builds loyalty and grows traffic. As the station’s Internet Managing Editor, you will be responsible for ensuring that published content is searchable by attaching the correct metadata to the content, including keywords and phrases to help search engines find our content. The IME must be able to use analytic tools in real time to make decisions about what content readers are responding to the most and determine what can be done to update and improve that content to take advantage of reader interest.
Are you an early adopter of new technology and applications? Are you a fanatic social media user? Can you share that enthusiasm with others and show them how to use applications that may be completely foreign to them? Do you thrive on deadline pressure? Are you thrilled with the idea of being part of a dynamic news team that wants to be a leader in the transformation of journalism on the web? If you answered “yes” to all of these, then this could be your job.
