Sit around, make up a few schedules and when the shit hits the fan....just blame the News Director.​

WVEC in Norfolk, Virginia has an immediate opening for an Assistant News Director.  This person will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the newsroom with the News Director and Executive Producer. 

The Assistant News Director will coordinate daily news coverage, have a passion for investigative reporting, and possess the ability to motivate and coach our reporting staff.  The ideal candidate will also understand how to execute breaking news coverage not just on-air, but across our multiple web and social media platforms.  The Assistant News Director will understand what it means to “own” the big story and be the market leader in enterprise reporting.  You’ll also help the News Director with the development and execution of long-term newsroom strategy.
