Here92s what you92ll need to be successful in this role:
- A streaming and digital first mindset, that has evolved beyond TV news constructs. You92re not talking about your plan for the 5pm or 6pm newscast.You92re talking about how you will deliver content NOW and throughout the day on FOX Local.
- You ditched the 93anchor voice94 long ago and you92ve mastered a more authentic style of delivery that doesn92t rely on a teleprompter.In fact, we don92t even use teleprompters in our 7 hours of daily live streaming news.
- You already understand and execute non-traditional storytelling formats using video, text, graphics, and music. And you create that content for live streaming, website and social platforms in a way that can later be repurposed for linear.

- You92ve already created a significant social footprint across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.Your content is rooted in news, notjustselfies and vacation photos.
