We are looking for a dedicated and talented Broadcast Journalist to join Global's Newsroom in the West as a field reporter for the Devon and Cornwall area, providing content for our local news bulletins and programmes as well as for Global's national brands like LBC and Classic FM. The successful candidate should have a proven track record of sourcing local content, arranging and conducting interviews, editing audio, creating packages, writing scripts, producing creative and relevant digital content, as well as experience of reporting live from the scene of a story. You will have a Broadcast Journalism qualification.

You should have a good understanding of the region in which you are working and the key issues facing that region. Excellent networking skills are required; you should be contributing to an effective contacts database.
