ABOUT THE ROLE & TEAM:
Univision Texas Central is looking for a motivated, competitive, and news-hungry Multimedia Journalist (MMJ) and Producer who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative newsroom and is passionate about delivering impactful journalism to our Hispanic communities.
This hybrid role combines strong newscast production skills with the initiative, creativity, independence, and on-air reporting capabilities of a multimedia journalist. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable producing compelling newscasts, developing original stories, and independently reporting from the field. As editorial needs evolve, this individual will also be expected to serve as an on-camera journalist, delivering live and pre-recorded reports, covering breaking news, and developing original stories for broadcast and digital platforms. This role requires someone who can confidently transition between producing behind the scenes and reporting in front of the camera.
We are building a newsroom culture rooted in ownership, accountability, collaboration, curiosity, and a relentless commitment to journalism. We value individuals who take initiative, communicate openly, embrace feedback, support their teammates, and approach challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset.
We believe great journalism is a shared responsibility. Every producer plays an active role in identifying stories, developing sources, verifying information, advancing coverage, and responding to breaking news. We are looking for someone who doesn’t simply wait for assignments but actively seeks opportunities to inform our audience and strengthen our coverage.
Success in this role requires more than technical ability. It requires a team-first mentality, strong editorial instincts, adaptability, and a genuine desire to contribute to a newsroom where everyone is invested in the collective success of our journalism.
YOUR DAY-DAY:
Produce compelling, accurate, and visually engaging newscasts and/or news content for broadcast, digital, and streaming platforms.
Identify, pitch, research, and develop original, impactful stories that matter to Hispanic audiences in San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding communities.
Demonstrate the versatility, confidence, and editorial readiness to transition between newscast production, assignment desk responsibilities, and independent field reporting based on daily newsroom priorities and operational needs.
Actively contribute to the daily assignment process by monitoring developing news, identifying coverage opportunities, gathering and verifying information, following up on leads, and helping advance stories throughout the day.
Exercise strong editorial judgment when evaluating story relevance, urgency, impact, and potential for audience engagement.
Independently report from the field as assigned, serving as a Multimedia Journalist (MMJ) responsible for researching, conducting interviews, gathering video and sound, writing scripts, editing packages, and producing complete news stories.
Deliver live and pre-recorded on-camera reports for newscasts and digital platforms, including breaking news coverage, developing stories, and independently researched enterprise reporting. Be prepared to work in the field without an assigned photographer or additional reporting support when necessary.
Build and organize rundowns, write compelling scripts, develop effective story treatments, and execute creative showcasing elements that strengthen the newscast.
Develop and maintain relationships with community members, public officials, organizations, and other sources to generate original reporting and follow-up opportunities.
Monitor news wires, scanners, social media, competing outlets, and other reliable sources to identify breaking news and developing stories.
Coordinate closely with assignment editors, reporters, photographers, anchors, producers, and digital teams to ensure effective news gathering, timely communication, and efficient execution.
