MundoFox Hiring Reporters, Writers, Editors and Videographers

MundoFox is looking for news talent and one-man-bands around the country.  It appears the network plans to have one-man-bands cover news in different cities, but it could also be setting up news bureaus.  We’re not sure if that’s part of the plan.

Reporters, writers, editors and videographers need to know how to write, read and speak in Spanish.  Remember, MundoFox is offering Spanish-language programming not only in news, but also entertainment.

Here is the MundoFox job post.  Good luck!

The new Spanish language broadcast network MundoFox is looking for locally-based, experienced freelance TV news reporters and photographer/editors to cover news and feature stories in locations around the U.S., both on an on-call and a contract basis, for its nightly newscast premiering in the late summer of 2012. Photographer/editors should have access to professional broadcast equipment, including editing. Applications from “one-man bands” as well as reporter-photographer/editor teams are also encouraged.

Reporters should be able to speak, read, and write Spanish with native level fluency and speak and read English at an advanced level. Photographer/editors should be able to speak Spanish fluently and to speak and read English at an advanced level.

Do Telenovelas and News Mix? Ask WOAI-TV in San Antonio

WOAI-TV in San Antonio has one smart promotions department.  I just have to put that out there.

I don’t know if the station was aiming for crossover marketing in hopes of getting more Latino viewers for its 6:30 newscast, but its new news promo is clever.

Check it out.

 

The promo highlights the beautiful news anchor, Elsa Ramon along with the rest of her news team. You may know her from her TV days in Dallas and Los Angeles.

I know some of you may say this feeds into stereotypes of Mexicans. As a journalist and Mexican American, I don’t have a problem with it.  They brought a little Latino flavor into its news promos and had fun with it.   And if they had to highlight gorgeous Latinas along the way—fantastic. 

Let’s get real; who didn’t grow up with mom or “abuelita” glued to her telenovelas. Kudos to WOAI’s promotions department for producing a memorable news promo.  

What are your thoughts?
