A producer is a key player at KQED making sure our journalism is available and accessible across multiple platforms. A producer’s key responsibilities include working with editors, reporters, hosts and other producers to ensure our audio and digital work is accessible in a timely and accurate manner.
On-call journalists play a critical role and may fill in for multiple positions in KQED’s newsroom. They often work inconsistent schedules and could work across various roles.
Producers at KQED can also research, write and help build news segments or shows, including our newscasts, segmented audio, Perspectives, Forum, The California Report and other shows as needed. The producer can also be assigned to work on newsroom special projects including podcasts.
Producers are expected to edit audio, produce mixes, shape pitches, frame stories or segments, coordinate tapings at remote locations, and write for audio.
KQED producers are expected to be ambitious and dedicated journalists, capable of juggling multiple tasks at once and meeting mission-critical deadlines – all in a respectful, collaborative manner.
KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.
We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.
