Are you passionate about delivering compelling local news across platforms? KWBE and News Channel Nebraska are seeking a dynamic, audience-focused storyteller to lead our radio news coverage in southeast Nebraska while also contributing to our TV and digital content teams.

As part of one of the fastest-growing media networks in the Midwest, this role is at the intersection of traditional journalism and digital innovation.

• Convert statewide press releases and developing stories into concise, broadcast-ready scripts.
• Publish news content to the NCN website and social media channels.
• Collaborate with others on the digital team to develop and implement a digital strategy.
• Assist in live severe weather coverage on the radio.
• Uphold the highest journalistic integrity, following ethical guidelines and legal standards.

What We’re Looking For

• A self-starting journalist with strong local instincts and a passion for community-driven storytelling.
• Experience in broadcast or multimedia journalism (2+ years preferred).
• Degree in Broadcast Journalism or a related field.
• Comfortable using, or open to learning, video and audio editing software.
• Excellent editorial judgment and deadline-driven focus.
• Willingness to relocate to (and engage with) the Beatrice community.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A supportive and creative work culture that values curiosity and community.
• Professional development opportunities and room for growth within a respected regional media network.
• A chance to make a real difference in the daily lives of Nebraskans.
