Job Details

Description

Gray Media is a leading media company that owns and operates high-quality stations in 113 television markets that collectively reach 36 percent of US television households. 

We constantly strive for excellence. Through upgrading to the latest technology and seeking new ways to stay on top in our markets, we focus on training and development of the best and brightest employees in the business. 

WTOC is a legacy station with a proud history in local news. If you're looking for an environment to grow and learn alongside a top-tier team of visual journalists, this is your chance.

WTOC is located in beautiful historic Savannah, GA, which was recently named the third-best city in the U.S. by Travel and Leisure. The station excels in creating effective commercials for our advertising clients. We also create promotional campaigns for our #1 news programs that inform and engage the viewer. WTOC is the number one news source in The Hostess City. As Savannah's first TV station, WTOC's community roots run deep. Our call letters stand for Welcome To Our City.

WTOC is hiring an MMJ based in Beaufort, South Carolina. Beaufort County, SC, is the fastest-growing county in South Carolina and the second-largest county in the Savannah market.

If you enjoy working on your own and want to live in one of South Carolina's charming, historic towns, this position could be for you! WTOC is looking to hire an MMJ to cover part of South Carolina's Lowcountry. The Savannah market covers Hampton, Jasper, and Beaufort Counties in South Carolina. This position would be based in Beaufort County and operate like a one-person bureau. This position will build contacts in the Lowcountry, pitch relevant stories daily, and attend WTOC editorial meetings remotely. While this position is based in South Carolina, you may be called to Savannah as news coverage dictates.

Please note - primary job duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to the information listed above 

- A successful candidate will have strong time management skills, be self-sufficient, be able to adapt to different circumstances, and communicate clearly with staff back at the station.
- This position will be based in Beaufort, SC.
- A college degree in journalism is preferred but not required.
- Because of the nature of this position being away from the newsroom, WTOC is looking for someone with previous reporting experience.
