This role sits within the network’s newsgathering operation, where the Field Producer is responsible for breaking original stories, developing sources, and producing broadcast television journalism across FOX News Channel and its digital platforms. It is a role built for an experienced news producer who works the phones, builds contacts, and finds stories before anyone else does.

About the Role

The Field Producer works directly within FOX News Media’s bureau newsgathering team, contributing content to one of the most-watched cable news networks in the country, which reaches approximately 200 million viewers each month.

• Build and maintain a network of sources across the Northeast region to support original newsgathering and breaking news coverage.
• Go into the field to cover live news events, conduct interviews, and gather all necessary elements for both television and digital news publication.
• Provide editorial guidance to reporters in the region, helping shape story framing, sourcing, and on-camera presentation.
• Develop and advance investigative storylines over time, following leads through to broadcast-ready journalism.
• Work across platforms including linear cable broadcast and FOX News digital, adapting editorial output to fit each format.

What You Bring

• Prior field producing experience in a broadcast television, digital news, or print environment.
• Established local contacts in the Northeast that can support original newsgathering from day one.
