Digital Anchor Reporter bei Nexstar

🎥 WPRI in Providence is on the hunt for a rockstar OBS Specialist!

Are you obsessed with livestreams, love being on camera, and know your way around Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)? We’re looking for someone who can run the show  — hosting, producing, switching, editing, and uploading daily and special video content (yes, including live stuff!). You’ll be a go-to person for everything from breaking news to quirky, personality-driven stories — both in-studio and out in the field.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• 🎬 Creative control of livestreams and video segments using OBS — from setup to hosting to upload.
• 🧠 Plan and pull off daily live shows, breaking news hits, and special projects.
• 🎤 Book interviews, gather visuals, and prep rundowns — you’re the storyteller and the tech wizard.
• 🎨 Collaborate on cool OBS scenes working with our graphics team to keep everything looking sharp and on-brand.
• 🤝 Team up with news, promo, and digital folks to get your content seen and shared.
• 📍 Join live or taped shoots on location  — yes, you get out of the building!
• 🛠️ Handle live-stream chaos like a pro — multitask, troubleshoot, and keep the show rolling.
• 💡 Get nerdy with the tech — learn the ins and outs of livestream setups and gear.
• 🚀 Try new things! We want someone who’s excited to experiment and push boundaries in the digital space.
• ✨ Polish your work — attention to detail is key to making your content shine.
• 🎥 Know your way around cameras, lighting, and audio? Even better.

What You Bring to the Table:

• 2–3 years of on camera work and video production experience (bonus points for tech troubleshooting).
• Solid OBS skills or experience with similar streaming software.
• A self-starter attitude — you see a moment and know how to capture it.
• Awareness of what’s happening in the world and who’s making news.
• Journalism ethics — you know what’s fair, accurate, and legal.
• Great people skills — whether you’re flying solo or working with a team.
• Must be cool with working in-person at our Providence studio.

Physical Demands & Work Environment: 

You must be able to work outdoors in all weather conditions and work indoors in environmentally controlled conditions. You must be able to lift and operate camera equipment, conduct telephone conversations, use electronic mail, write letters and memos, conduct face to face discussions with individuals or groups, make decision without supervision, make decisions that impact the results of co-workers, and work in close proximity to others.
