Job Description

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced News Anchor/Executive Producer to serve as both the editorial leader of our Spanish-language newscast and the trusted on-air face of our news team. This hybrid role blends exceptional journalism, editorial leadership, and an engaging on-air presence.

The ideal candidate will be fluent in spoken and written Spanish, possess a strong understanding of U.S. news and political landscapes, and bring a proven track record in both anchoring and newsroom management. This position plays a key role in setting editorial direction, driving content strategy, and mentoring newsroom staff—all while anchoring newscasts that inform and connect with our audience.

About You:

You are a natural storyteller with the journalistic instinct to track leads, develop strong angles, and present balanced, engaging stories across platforms. You thrive under pressure, can confidently ad-lib during breaking news, and are skilled at live reporting and simultaneous English-to-Spanish translation when necessary.

• Ensure adherence to journalistic guidelines and station policies.
• Coordinate coverage for breaking news, special reports, and major events across platforms.
• Monitor ratings, viewer feedback, and editorial performance to drive continuous improvement.

As News Anchor:

• Deliver newscasts in Spanish across broadcast, digital, and streaming platforms with clarity, authority, and engagement.
• Write and edit scripts in Spanish with a high standard of accuracy and journalistic integrity.
• Collaborate with producers and reporters to develop compelling, well-rounded newscasts.
• Conduct live interviews and anchor breaking news with confidence and professionalism.
• Report from the field on assigned stories, special projects, investigations, explainers, or interviews.
• Represent the station at community events and public appearances as a brand ambassador.
• Create content for digital and social media platforms, including posting stories online and on UCI-affiliated sites.

Qualifications:

• Fluent in Spanish and English (written and verbal).
• Bachelor's degree in Journalism, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent newsroom experience (5+ years).
• Proven experience as an on-air anchor; executive producer experience preferred.
• Strong knowledge of political journalism, particularly within the U.S. landscape.
• Exceptional live reporting, ad-libbing, and simultaneous English-to-Spanish translation skills.
• Familiarity with iNews or similar newsroom systems.
• High ethical and journalistic standards with a passion for informing the community.
• Must be flexible with schedule, including availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and breaking news coverage.
• Ability to sit, stand, or walk for up to 8 hours; must be able to lift and carry up to 30 pounds if needed.
