Assignment Editor Jobs in Wisconsin

An Assignment Editor in the broadcasting industry serves as the primary point of contact for news, stories, and events that the news station covers. They are tasked with deciding what stories are of interest to the audience, assigning reporters and photographers to cover those stories, and ensuring that all assignments are completed on time. They also manage the logistical aspects such as coordinating with other departments, making travel arrangements, and handling other administrative duties. They play a vital role in the newsroom, often juggling multiple tasks at once and making quick decisions under pressure.

Strong communication skills, excellent judgment, multitasking ability, and the capacity to work under intense pressure are critical skills for an Assignment Editor. A degree in journalism, communications, or a related field is often required. Additionally, knowledge of news production software and social media platforms is beneficial. Prior to becoming an Assignment Editor, a person may have roles such as a News Reporter, News Producer, or News Photographer. These roles offer the necessary experience in a newsroom environment and provide a solid understanding of what makes a story newsworthy, both of which are essential for an Assignment Editor.
