WGBA, the NBC affiliate owned by The E.W. Scripps Company in Green Bay, is in search of its next Multimedia Journalist. NBC 26 is looking for a Neighborhood reporter based in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. This is not your average reporting job. As a Neighborhood reporter, you’ll embed in your community and dig beyond the sensational. It’s a unique opportunity in the news to build true connections and relationships that lead to incredible storytelling. Our leadership team includes an executive reporter who will work with you day in day out to grow as a storyteller and journalist.
Outside of the job, you’ll be living in a community with plenty to offer. Fond du Lac, about 75 miles south of Green Bay, sits at the foot of beautiful Lake Winnebago, the largest of Wisconsin’s 15,000 inland lakes. Enjoy waterfront restaurants amid a growing nightlife, or get away from it all with hiking, kayaking, camping, fishing or any outdoor activity just out your back door. Fond du Lac has something for everyone – from young professionals to families – and with a low cost of living, it’s an ideal place for career growth and personal fulfillment.
