NBC Bay Area is looking for an experienced, versatile and innovative journalist who can report and tell compelling stories across television, streaming, digital and social platforms. This is a true multiplatform reporting role for a journalist with a proven track record in both broadcast reporting and digital/social storytelling .  We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable reporting live from the scene of breaking news, independently shooting and producing a television story, creating and editing vertical video for social media, developing an explainer that makes a complicated topic easier to understand, or joining a newscast to provide insight into what people are talking about online. The ideal candidate is a seasoned journalist and natural storyteller who understands that audiences consume news differently across platforms and knows how to adapt their reporting and storytelling accordingly. This person should be a social native with excellent editorial judgment, a strong and engaging on-camera presence and the ability to independently report, shoot, write, edit, produce and publish high-quality content quickly.

Develop compelling social explainer content that breaks down complex stories and issues, helping audiences understand what is happening and why it matters. Publish content directly to NBC Bay Area's social platforms, quickly tailoring storytelling, presentation, pacing, visuals and other elements to the audience and conventions of each platform rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Serve as a digital correspondent within newscasts, providing insight and context around stories, conversations, trends and topics gaining attention online. Collaborate with reporters, anchors, producers, photographers, editors and digital and social teams while also being capable of independently taking a story from idea to publication. Maintain NBC Bay Area's journalistic and editorial standards across all platforms, including during fast-moving breaking news situations. Experiment with emerging storytelling formats, tools and platform features as technology and audience habits evolve.
