Central Oregon Daily News – KOHD/KBNZ, ABC/CBS – is looking for a general assignment on-air reporter to join our growing team!
You’ll report hard news and feature stories in Bend, Oregon one of the fastest-growing cities in one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States.
Oh, and you’ll have a blast while doing it.
You’ll cover city, county and state government issues, crime, education and community news (think beer runs, pond skimming at the nation’s 6th largest ski area, and “Goat Yoga”).
