Job DescriptionNBC and Telemundo Chicago are seeking a highly skilled and motivated News Field Photographer who is both a visual journalist and a creative technologist. This role is for someone who doesn’t simply document events but crafts powerful stories—using images, sound, editing, and technology to connect with our community and viewers.The ideal candidate combines exceptional technical expertise, strong editorial instincts, and a passion for continuous growth—someone who thrives in dynamic environments, embraces emerging tools, and constantly looks for smarter, more creative, and more efficient ways to tell a story.We’re looking for a professional who can work independently in the field or seamlessly within a collaborative newsroom environment—someone equally comfortable shooting, editing, lighting, and delivering broadcast-ready content across multiple platforms.Key Responsibilities:Craft visually compelling and meaningful content that informs, engages, and inspires across broadcast, streaming, digital, and social platforms.Operate Sony ENG-style cameras, Sony FX-series cinema systems, and DSLR/mirrorless platforms to achieve both fast-turn and cinematic visual results.Execute professional field lighting setups—from single-subject interviews to multi-talent productions—using portable lighting kits and creative techniques to shape tone and depth.Record, monitor, and troubleshoot field audio wireless microphone/IFB systems, ensuring high-quality sound capture.Configure and operate CBNG, and IP-based bonded-cellular field systems for live news, breaking coverage, and special events.Use newsroom rundown systems and media asset management platforms to organize, label, and upload content, maintaining complete metadata accuracy for efficient newsroom workflows.Transition seamlessly from field capture to full post-production—editing your own footage using Adobe Premiere Pro to produce professional, broadcast-ready packages.Edit efficiently under deadline pressure: assemble and color-correct footage, sync natural sound, build strong story pacing, mix multi-track audio, and export for multiple platforms and aspect ratios.Collaborate with producers, reporters, and editors to refine content, integrate feedback, and ensure consistency across NBC and Telemundo brands.Maintain strong communication with the newsroom and control room when working independently, proactively sharing updates and solving challenges in real time.Exercise excellent editorial judgment—identifying key story elements, capturing decisive visuals, and applying creative storytelling to enhance viewer engagement.Troubleshoot camera, audio, lighting, and transmission issues quickly and calmly while multitasking in high-pressure environments.
