About the role

News Reporter job at Fox Corporation. Austin, TX. OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY Fox TV Stations FOX Television Stations owns and operates 29 full power broadcast television stations in the U.S. These include stations located in 14 of the top 15 largest designated market areas, or DMAs, and duopolies in 11 DMAs, including the three largest DMAs (New York, Los Angeles and Chicago). Of these stations, 18 are affiliated with the FOX Network. In addition to distributing sports, entertainment and syndicated content, our television stations collectively produce approximately 1,200 hours of local news every week. These stations leverage viewer, distributor and advertiser demand for the FOX Network's national content.
JOB DESCRIPTION: We seek someone who recognizes that a reporter's role must evolve beyond traditional television to connect with audiences where they are. We emphasize innovative techniques that deliver relevant, memorable, and impactful storytelling across our website, news and streaming apps, social media platforms, and eventually on our linear channel. This role caters to both digital and linear news consumers, offering content through linear broadcasts and our FOX Local digital platform. To effectively serve both audiences, you should be a self-starter with excellent writing skills and a clear vision for how each story will unfold throughout the morning across various platforms. Strong live reporting skills and the ability to meet frequent rolling deadlines are essential, especially during breaking news and continuous severe weather events that often characterize the Austin news scene. We aim for high audience engagement on social media, and the reporter will be equipped with the tools to achieve and surpass these goals. The storyteller must be skilled in using social media to enhance newsgathering and reach wider audiences.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
