Host / Reporter

 Colorado Public Radio is looking for a news host/reporter to join our growing news operation. You’ll host Morning Edition some of the week and have reporting days as well. As host you’ll report, write and edit hourly newscasts, and produce newscast material for the next newscast shift. This involves ongoing collaboration with other members of the CPR news staff and free-lance reporters. You’ll also prepare weather breaks and promos, record underwriting, and participate in fundraising and outreach events. As reporter, you’ll cover breaking news for spots, superspots, features and two ways, along with some in depth reporting, and you’ll prepare material for the web. You’ll work with a seasoned staff, committed to top-notch journalism and exploring creative new ways of doing our work. And it’s a great state for news - big stories in energy, the environment, immigration, health care reform, development vs. agriculture, purple-state politics and the old west/new west match up.

Denver is a thriving city, with strong arts, culture and music scenes, bike-riding galore (it’s a top-ranked city for its bike trails), and gorgeous weather (even big snowstorms tend to melt off after a few days). And you’ve got a big backyard - the Rocky Mountains - for skiing, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, hot springs, etc. We’re looking for an experienced host and reporter with strong news judgment, demonstrated ability to work under deadline, collaborate and also work independently as needed.
