Weekend Executive Producer/Weekly Newspaper Editor

WPSD-TV, the dominant legacy NBC affiliate (90th DMA) in Paducah, Kentucky, along with its affiliated newspapers, is looking for a versatile journalist who can not only be the Executive Producer of our weekend TV coverage but also the editor of four of our weekly newspapers during the week.

On Saturday and Sunday, you’ll be running the show at WPSD, leading our newsroom, driving coverage decisions, and helping to produce newscasts that inform and engage our community. You'll work with anchors, reporters, and photographers to build compelling broadcasts from the ground up.

Monday through Wednesday, you will be the editor of The Mayfield Messenger, Metropolis Planet, The Times Leader, and The Herald Ledger. You'll help guide our talented reporters while making the editorial decisions that matter to readers across western Kentucky and southern Illinois.

We’re looking for someone with experience in news production, print editing, or both! You must be able to thrive in a newsroom with daily deadline pressures but also be able to lead confidently and communicate clearly. This job is all about producing local journalism. If that’s something that sounds appealing, we want to hear from you.

This hybrid role isn’t for someone who wants to do one thing. It's a role for someone who is ready to be a leader in our newsroom across multiple platforms, while trying to help make an impact in the communities that depend on local news.

A degree in journalism or related field and two years of experience is preferred. Send your cover letter, resume to: Jeff Bidwell, News Director at jbidwell@WPSDLocal6.com
