• Finding innovative ways to cull stories from the news cycle and develop them into enterprise video

• Ensuring that all journalistic and legal standards are followed at all times

• Ability to work late hours and weekends both as part of a regular weekend rotation and as news developments may warrant

• Completing additional duties as assigned
