• Be a digital storyteller: Innovate with your storytelling approach for web and social media, leveraging every tool to engage our audience in real-time conversations.
• Collaborate like a pro: Work hand-in-hand with producers, photographers, and other team members to create cohesive, high-quality news coverage under tight deadlines.
• Connect with the community: Build authentic relationships with sources and residents, becoming a trusted voice that reflects the diverse heartbeat of Connecticut.
