NewsNation is building a new national media outlet for all Americans. We think there’s an unmet need for news that isn’t tilted toward one ideology or another, walks away from two sides-ism to focus on multiple perspectives when examining the issues, and considers every community across all 50 states. We are dedicated to a truly all-platform experience: a national cable channel plus a vibrant digital presence.

We are seeking digital content producers who are savvy in collaborating to create digital-friendly journalism. Duties and expectations of digital content producers vary greatly based on experience.
