Newsroom & Community

• Participate actively in editorial meetings by contributing original ideas, sources, angles, follow-ups, and coverage strategies.
• Communicate proactively with producers, the assignment desk, digital teams, and newsroom leadership throughout the reporting process.
• Manage multiple assignments and deadlines while maintaining accuracy, editorial standards, and strong execution.
• Develop a strong understanding of Colorado and build authentic relationships with the diverse communities Telemundo Colorado serves.
• Represent Telemundo Colorado professionally at community events, station initiatives, public appearances, and other assignments.
• Contribute to special projects, investigations, major-event coverage, and other newsroom initiatives as assigned.
