NEWS VIDEO EDITOR (P/T) – KPHO/KTVK

Gray Media is hiring a part-time News Video Editor at its Phoenix stations, KPHO and KTVK, home to CBS 5 and 3TV. This role sits inside the post and broadcast operations team, responsible for editing daily news packages, managing live video feeds, and delivering finished content across linear television, web, and social platforms. It’s a strong fit for an editor who knows broadcast news workflow from the inside and can move between a breaking story and a long-form feature without losing their footing.

About the Role

Arizona’s Family produces more than 100 hours of local news and programming each week, and this News Video Editor position supports that output across CBS 5, 3TV, and the station’s digital properties. Day to day, the work involves cutting packages for air, acquiring satellite and microwave feeds, and coordinating with control rooms and field crews to keep live broadcasts running cleanly. The role reports to the Chief News Editor and touches every layer of the station’s content management and archive systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit news packages, investigative segments, and special project content for broadcast television, digital platforms, and social distribution.
• Acquire and route incoming video feeds from satellite, microwave, and backpack transmitters to support field crews going live.
• Maintain content management and archive systems in coordination with the Chief News Editor to support daily news workflow.
• Communicate in real time with control room staff and field crews to ensure live broadcast execution meets air-ready standards.
• Optimize news video for social platforms, applying an understanding of format, pacing, and platform-specific delivery requirements.
• Manage post-production workflow under deadline pressure across multiple concurrent news cycles without compromising output quality.

What You Bring

• Hands-on experience with non-linear editing software inside a broadcast news or episodic television environment.
• Demonstrated understanding of video feed acquisition, including satellite, microwave, and cellular backpack systems.
• A background editing for multiple distribution formats, including broadcast air, web publishing, and social media channels.
• The ability to cut across content types, from a two-minute breaking news clip to a longer documentary or investigative piece.
• Familiarity with newsroom content management systems and digital asset archiving processes.
