About this role
WMUR, Manchester's ABC news station, is seeking a photographer to join its newsroom as a core member of the daily news operation. You'll spend significant time in the field shooting breaking stories and enterprise coverage, then return to edit your work in Adobe Premiere for broadcast and digital platforms. The role demands both technical skill—operating professional ENG equipment, managing wireless data feeds, and coordinating video elements from multiple crews—and creative judgment to capture compelling visuals and natural sound that bring stories to life for viewers.
This position suits someone with formal training or newsroom experience in video photojournalism who thrives under deadline pressure and can manage the physical demands of the job, including carrying up to 50 pounds of gear and working in all weather conditions. You'll collaborate closely with reporters, producers, and the Assignment Desk, so professionalism, reliability, and strong communication matter as much as your technical abilities. The role reports to the News Operations Director and requires a valid driver's license with a clean record, familiarity with editing platforms and newsroom systems, and an uncompromising commitment to journalistic integrity.
Hearst offers medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, paid time off, paid parental leave, and emotional wellness support, along with additional family-focused benefits.
