#624 Newsfluencer

JOB TITLE: Newsfluencer
JOB REFERRAL: #624

WWAY is hiring a community-connected Cape Fear Newsfluencer, a first-of-its-kind social media content creator and influencer who discovers, explains, and shares stories from people across southeastern North Carolina. This is a digital-first, field-based storytelling job for someone who loves the Cape Fear. You’ll be WWAY’s visible, approachable, and always curious presence on social media platforms, at local events, and in everyday community life. You will create original short-form video, live streams, interviews, explainers, photos, web content, and behind-the-scenes coverage that meets people where they are, on their phones and in their neighborhoods. It’s just not an influencer job. You will work to WWAY’s newsroom standards, use strong editorial judgment, verify information before sharing it, and help feed story leads to WWAY’s broadcast, digital streaming, and social media platforms.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Proven presentation, communication, and social media content creation skills.
• Experience telling stories on social media, digital content broadcasts, radio, marketing, PR, tourism, entertainment, community organizing, or event promotion.
• Journalism experience, including writing, shooting, editing, and producing web stories for a news and information organization.
• Familiarity with mobile journalism equipment and workflows such as ENPS.
• Ability to host livestreams, conduct on-camera interviews, or cover and report on live events.
• Ideate, enterprise, deliver, and engage audiences with compelling short-form stories and information.
