DESCRIPTION
KPRC 2, the Graham Media Group owned – NBC affiliate in Houston, Texas is searching for a Meteorologist/Science & Environmental Reporter who will delight our Houston audiences everywhere they are – on-air, on our KPRC 2+ Streaming App, and on our other digital properties.
JOB EXPERIENCE
Houston is a wild weather market – we have hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods, soaring temperatures, and everything in between. The ideal candidate has strong communication skills and an engaging personality, who can take the science and turn it into information our audiences can use to prepare themselves for what’s coming – whether it’s severe storms or inconvenient weather that just gets in the way. You have lots of technology at your fingertips, and know how to leverage it to tell a strong forecast-driven weather story.
When you’re not in the studio or out storm tracking, you’re producing stories about science, environment, and climate impact. You’ll bring strong storytelling and writing skills to work for multi-platform audiences. KPRC 2 is an innovative environment where we’re breaking the old model of television news, and creating news content for a new generation. This is a great opportunity to showcase your interest in science, Houston’s role in continued space exploration, and the environment through compelling live and packaged reporting. Additionally, you’ll be part of our Forecasting Change team – a group of journalists from across Graham Media Group who are exploring the impact of climate change on our communities.
