ABC 17 News is looking for a Morning Anchor/MMJ with a superior on-air presence, strong editorial instincts, and a genuine passion for journalism. This is not a read-the-prompter role. We want someone who is deeply invested in the news, actively engaged in the newsroom, and eager to help shape the stories we tell and how we tell them. The right candidate will be a newsroom leader who works collaboratively with the morning team, champions our brand, and helps ensure every newscast reflects our commitment to urgency, accuracy, and viewer-focused storytelling. This is an opportunity for an enterprising journalist who wants to do more than deliver the news—to help drive it.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Responsibilities include anchoring our morning newscasts, writing, copyediting, and posting to social/digital platforms. The anchor will model urgency and accuracy, help motivate and mentor team members, and contribute to a positive, collaborative newsroom culture. The position also includes producing long-form investigative and beyond-the-surface stories that go deeper than the daily headlines and give viewers a more complete understanding of the stories that matter to them. Additional responsibilities may include reporting, live shots, web reporting, social media posting, and other duties as assigned.
HOURS/SCHEDULE: This is a full-time position, scheduled Monday through Friday from 2:00 am – 11:00 am, with flexibility required of the employee.
EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION: Two years of on-air news experience are preferred, along with a bachelor’s degree in journalism, communication, or a related field.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: The position will require operation of a company vehicle or a personal vehicle for business use. The candidate must have a valid Missouri driver’s license and pass a drug test and background check.
