Producer – TMZ Sports

Fox is hiring a Producer for TMZ Sports, based in Los Angeles, CA. This role sits inside TMZ’s sports newsroom, where the output is original video and digital content spanning breaking athlete news, league stories, and social-first sports coverage for broadcast and digital platforms. It suits a journalist who has worked the sports news beat and is equally comfortable writing for the web as they are standing in front of a camera delivering a story.

About the Role

The TMZ Sports Producer works within a newsroom that operates across digital publishing, episodic television production, and social media simultaneously, meaning no two days follow the same sequence. A typical day involves pitching original stories, developing sources, writing copy for digital platforms, and appearing on TMZ Sports on TV to deliver segments. The pace mirrors a live sports broadcast newsroom, where breaking news can reshape the entire day’s lineup at any moment.

Key Responsibilities

• Enterprise, pitch, and produce original sports stories across digital and broadcast formats, maintaining accuracy under tight deadlines.
• Write copy for TMZ Sports digital platforms that reflects the outlet’s editorial voice while remaining grounded in verified facts.
• Appear regularly on TMZ Sports on TV, delivering stories on camera with confidence and a conversational presence that connects with viewers.
• Cultivate and manage source relationships across the sports landscape to generate exclusive stories and break news ahead of competitors.
• Monitor sports news, athlete activity, league developments, and social media trends to identify story opportunities early in the news cycle.
• Work with editors and fellow producers to develop social content that extends stories across emerging platforms and engages sports audiences.

What You Bring

• Three or more years of experience producing and writing in a digital sports news or sports broadcast environment.
• Proven track record of enterprising original stories and breaking news within a deadline-driven newsroom.
• On-camera experience with a natural delivery, not a read-from-the-prompter presence.
• Deep working knowledge of professional sports leagues, athletes, and the cultural stories that drive sports coverage.
• Fluency in social media platforms as active news-gathering and distribution tools, not just publishing channels.

Why This Role

TMZ Sports operates at the intersection of sports journalism and entertainment news, giving producers access to a distribution platform that reaches audiences across television and digital at scale. Fox provides medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, and paid time off per plan documents. For a sports news producer looking to build credits across both digital publishing and episodic television production, this role carries real weight on a resume.
