NewsNation is building a new national media outlet for all Americans. We think there's an unmet need for news that isn't tilted toward one ideology or another, walks away from two sides-ism to focus on multiple perspectives when examining the issues, and considers every community across all 50 states. We are dedicated to a truly all-platform experience: a national cable channel plus a vibrant digital presence.

We are seeking digital content producers who are savvy in collaborating to create digital-friendly journalism. Duties and expectations of digital content producers vary greatly based on experience. More experienced digital content producers regularly turn original reporting, are assigned beats, are sent on location for assignments, and are expected to pitch original story ideas, for example. Other roles are more closely focused on publishing the news of the day, maintain audience engagement of the site and converting our on-air content into digital-friendly formats.
