KAKE

New jobs posted to TVNewsCheck’s Media Job Center include openings for a general sales manager; an assistant chief engineer; a multimedia journalist; a sales account executive; a producer and reporter to work remotely on a new national daily news magazine; and a weekend anchor/reporter.

KAKE’s campaign, succinctly titled Trust, seeks to answer one prevailing question: Why should the public trust local news?

Now, more than ever before, people are turning to local TV news for information they can trust about the changing conditions in their town, their city, county and state due to the coronavirus. And local TV marketers are responding with messages of hope and optimism, togetherness and kindness. Not the usual themes of local TV news promotion, but maybe the ones we need to hear right now.

TVNewsCheck’s Media Job Center last week saw new job postings from Lockwood, Hearst, Sinclair and Dispatch for openings in Kansas, Iowa and Ohio for openings in sales, creative services, IT management, and one for a general manager.
