Job Description

KXAS-TV (NBC 5) and KXTX-TV (Telemundo 39), the NBCUniversal duopoly serving the Dallas–Fort Worth market, are seeking a passionate and versatile News Reporter to join our newsroom team. This position is an exciting opportunity to report for two powerhouse stations with a commitment to delivering trusted, impactful journalism to one of the largest and most diverse audiences in the country.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable reporting live from the field, producing digital exclusives, and leveraging social media to engage with viewers in real time.
