WEAU 13 News, the dominant station in Eau Claire is searching for a news anchor.  If you have experience on the anchor desk, excellent reporting skills and the talent to help lead our newsroom, we want to talk to you.

Our evening 6/9/10 p.m. co-anchor contributes daily to elevating our team and newscasts and is an ambassador of the station—championing our community initiatives. This is a high-profile position demanding leadership and initiative. The person we hire must make a daily and noticeable impact on our product. You will be a mentor to others on our team. You are willing to evolve and try new things. The way we've always done things, no longer cuts it.

To land this gig, you must be a motivated self-starter with the ability to build contacts quickly.  We need a working anchor who can command the anchor desk, write tight, compelling copy for on-air scripts and WEAU.com, use social media to effectively promote coverage and edit and shoot video when necessary.  The person we’re looking for will approve reporter scripts and teach reporters/MMJs to be better storytellers.  We also need someone who can take control of breaking news coverage under intense deadline pressure and take the lead on special projects as needed.  This person should also be an expert in generating LEAD stories that nobody else in the market has.  Producing newscasts will also be required.  Be prepared to go live and/or report at least two days a week. You should also have the ability to help maintain and build morale in the newsroom.  This is not a starter position. We’re looking for someone with at least three years of experience in an on-air capacity.  Your link should speak for itself.
