This is an award winning well equipped news organization covering parts of four states. Our teammates frequently take the next step to bigger markets. We are convenient to Nashville and Saint Louis. Outdoor life is wonderful here with boating, hiking, fishing, hunting and camping. We also boast a symphony, fine dining, art house cinema, Community Theater, a thriving arts community and the ambience of a historic river city. Things here are starting to get back to “normal.” We prefer management experience but this could be your first management job on your way to being a News Director or more.
