SENIOR VIDEOGRAPHER/EDITOR – KTUU

Gray Media is hiring a Senior Videographer/Editor at KTUU, Alaska’s News Source, based in Anchorage, Alaska. This role sits at the center of the station’s daily broadcast news workflow, responsible for shooting and editing video content for broadcast television, streaming platforms, and social media across KTUU’s portfolio of channels. It’s a role built for an experienced news videographer who thrives in a live news environment and can carry a story from the field to the edit bay without hand-holding.

About the Role

The Senior Videographer/Editor works within KTUU’s photojournalism and post-production team, contributing to 32 hours of weekly broadcast news content across multiple over-the-air channels in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Southeast Alaska. A typical day involves pitching story ideas, heading into the field to shoot interviews and breaking news, then returning to cut finished packages under tight broadcast deadlines. On-call rotation means you need to be ready when a major news event breaks, not just when it’s scheduled.

Key Responsibilities

• Shoot and edit daily news packages for broadcast television, connected TV platforms, and social media distribution across KTUU’s full multimedia footprint.
• Deliver live shots and breaking news coverage in the field, often independently and under real-time deadline pressure.
• Pitch original story ideas daily as part of the station’s editorial news gathering process.
• Train incoming photojournalists and editors on the station’s production workflow and editorial standards.
• Assist the Chief Photographer with equipment maintenance, gear assignments, and coverage logistics.
• Travel throughout Alaska as news assignments require, including remote and rural coverage beyond Anchorage.

What You Bring

• Five or more years of experience as a news videographer and editor in a broadcast television environment.
• Demonstrated proficiency in field camera operation and non-linear video editing within a news post-production workflow.
• A track record of independent news gathering, including solo field reporting and live shot execution.
• A college degree in Journalism or a related field is preferred.
• A valid driver’s license with a clean driving record, required for field news production across varied terrain.
• Availability across mornings, nights, weekends, holidays, and on-call shifts as the broadcast news cycle demands.

Why This Role

KTUU is the most-watched news source in Alaska, with distribution reaching over 200 rural communities through ARCS-TV, making it one of the more geographically significant broadcast news operations in the country. Gray Media is the largest owner of top-rated local television stations in the United States, operating across 117 markets, which means real infrastructure and resources behind this position. For a Senior Videographer/Editor who wants meaningful field work and a station with genuine audience reach, this is a substantive role.
