DIGITAL MEDIA EDITOR/VIDEOGRAPHER – KTIV

Job Position(s): DIGITAL MEDIA EDITOR/VIDEOGRAPHER - KTIV

Gray Media is hiring a Digital Media Editor/Videographer at KTIV News 4 in Sioux City, Iowa. This role sits inside the digital newsroom, producing platform-specific video content for web, app, YouTube, and social channels while supporting broadcast output as needed. It’s a good fit for a working shooter-editor who understands news post-production workflow and can move between field production and the edit suite without losing a step.

About the Role

The Digital Media Editor/Videographer works within KTIV’s newsroom as the station’s dedicated digital content producer, handling everything from breaking news edits to planned enterprise packages. Day-to-day, this means going out with a camera, coming back, and cutting platform-appropriate versions, vertical for Instagram, square for Facebook, horizontal for YouTube, while keeping metadata and publishing standards clean. KTIV is the number one station in the Sioux City market, so the volume is real and the deadlines are firm.

Key Responsibilities

• Shoot and edit video for digital and broadcast distribution, applying strong sequencing, audio mixing, and natural sound judgment across every deliverable.
• Cut breaking news packages quickly and accurately, maintaining editorial standards under the pressure of a live news cycle.
• Produce platform-specific edits in vertical, square, and horizontal formats optimized for social media performance and audience retention.
• Publish finished content through a CMS with accurate captions, metadata, and compliance with editorial and brand guidelines.
• Operate and maintain cameras, microphones, and lighting gear, managing file organization and archive workflow within the station’s post-production system.
• Support live and field production for special projects, working alongside reporters and producers to execute visual storytelling from planning through delivery.

What You Bring

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and familiarity with basic graphics and audio workflows in a news post-production environment.
• Demonstrated field production experience with an eye for composition, lighting, and natural sound capture.
• A portfolio or reel showing digital-first storytelling across multiple formats and platforms.
• Experience publishing to a CMS and managing social media content distribution for a news or media organization.
• A valid driver’s license and the physical ability to carry production equipment in varied outdoor conditions.
• A degree in journalism, communications, or film and television production is preferred, though equivalent professional experience is considered.
