Description

Help tell Pittsburgh's story - wherever audiences are.

Great journalism doesn't end when a story airs on the radio. It comes alive online, in inboxes, across social media, through compelling visuals, and wherever audiences connect with the news and music they care about.

90.5 WESA is looking for a Digital Producer who is passionate about storytelling, audience engagement, and digital journalism. This role is at the center of our digital strategy, helping bring the work of 90.5 WESA, Pittsburgh's NPR News Station, and 91.3 WYEP, one of the country's premier music stations, to audiences across multiple platforms.

If you're equally comfortable copy-editing a story, producing a newsletter, capturing a powerful photo, breaking news online, or finding the perfect headline that connects with readers, this could be the role for you.

What You'll Do

As a member of our digital team, you'll help ensure our journalism and music information reaches audiences wherever they are.

Your work will include:

• Writing engaging headlines and optimizing stories for search and digital audiences.
• Producing newsletters that keep our audiences informed and connected.
• Copy-editing stories for clarity, accuracy, style, and impact using AP and NPR standards.
• Promoting journalism, music content, and station initiatives across social media platforms.
• Monitoring web analytics to identify trends and maximize audience engagement.
• Photographing and filming stories, events, and community activities.
• Reporting breaking news for our digital and broadcast platforms when needed.
• Working with NPR Digital Services to troubleshoot website issues and improve user experience.
• Collaborating with reporters, editors, producers, and station staff across departments.
• Supporting fundraising campaigns and special projects that sustain public media.

What We're Looking For

We're searching for someone who thrives in a fast-moving newsroom and enjoys finding new ways to connect audiences with meaningful journalism and music.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are an excellent writer and meticulous copy editor.
• Have a strong understanding of digital publishing and social media strategy.
• Can recognize a great story and know how to present it across multiple platforms.
• Enjoy collaborating while also taking initiative and working independently.
• Stay calm under deadline pressure and can juggle multiple priorities.
• Have sound news judgment and a strong commitment to ethical journalism.
• Are curious, creative, and always looking for better ways to engage audiences.

Photography, videography, data visualization, and multimedia storytelling experience are all welcome additions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in journalism or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• At least one year of digital reporting or producing experience in a professional newsroom.
• Experience with digital publishing systems and a general understanding of HTML and web technologies.
• Familiarity with Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, or similar digital infrastructure is helpful.
• Knowledge of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania is a plus.
• Passion for journalism, music, public media, and serving local communities.
• Commitment to integrity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• Ability to work occasional evenings, weekends, and breaking news situations.
