The Opportunity

KCUR 89.3 is seeking a journalist to lead our popular everyday morning newsletter, The Early Bird, and to help manage our social media accounts on a part-time basis.

As a social media producer, you will be key to KCUR's continued growth. You must be a team player with sharp news judgment, an adherence to journalistic ethics, a curiosity and excitement about online communities, and a knack for collaboration in a friendly and often fast-paced environment.

You will also curate KCUR stories for our everyday newsletter, The Early Bird.
While this is not a reporting function, the social media producer will be a critical part of any breaking news situation, making sure KCUR's audiences are up to date with the latest and most accurate information on the appropriate platforms. The social media producer also helps serve as KCUR's eyes and ears online, flagging breaking news or other potential stories for the newsroom, and helping deliver audience feedback to the appropriate place.
