Investigative Reporter

Columbus, OH
Job Description

WSYX/WTTE is searching for our next on-air PROBLEM SOLVER - a reporter who fights for viewers and gets results.


If you're driven by helping people, digging into tough questions, and holding the powerful accountable, this is your newsroom. We're looking for a reporter with strong investigative instincts, a compassionate approach, and the creativity to turn real-world viewer concerns into compelling storytelling.


This is a role for someone who loves solutions as much as they love storytelling-someone who can take complex issues, break them down clearly, and guide people toward answers.


What You'll Do

  • In this high-impact, viewer-focused role, you will:
  • Investigate viewer complaints, consumer issues, and community concerns
  • Identify trends, track down answers, and deliver solutions that make a difference
  • Create, write, shoot, and edit stories for broadcast, digital, and social platforms
  • Provide clear, empathetic on-air reporting that empowers audiences
  • Hold businesses, agencies, and institutions accountable-fairly and accurately
  • Build strong relationships with viewers and community partners
  • Work closely with Producers, Editors, Anchors, & News Directors to elevate your reporting
What You Bring

  • A passion for helping people and uncovering meaningful solutions
  • Strong investigative instincts and the ability to follow a trail until it leads somewhere
  • Experience working with newsroom systems and media production tools
  • Excellent writing, research, and storytelling skills
  • 5 years of experience in reporting (consumer or investigative experience a plus)
  • The ability to stay organized, calm, and focused when deadlines are tight
  • A commitment to accuracy, fairness, and ethical journalism
Who Thrives in This Role

  • Curious minds who ask "Why?"
  • Journalists who enjoy sorting out confusion and making things clear
  • Reporters who believe journalism is a public service
  • Storytellers who want their work to have real-world impact
