It is a two-year training program for aspiring broadcast journalists at the number one cable network in the country, Fox News. Multimedia Reporters operate as one-person-bands with the ability to go live virtually anywhere, anytime. They contribute a steady flow of content to our digital, radio and television properties, complementing our ongoing initiative to unify the content-based teams instead of platform-specific teams. The MMRs use P2 cameras, Adobe Premiere editing and LiveU to stream video. Each day they gather news information, conduct live and taped interviews, write stories and deliver news reports on all media platforms. The MMRs initiate research, pitch stories, shoot and edit video, and present the material in an engaging manner that spans all Fox News platforms. Through this comprehensive experience, MMRs are able to develop a skill set that is essential to being an excellent multimedia journalist. At the program’s inception, MMRs are trained at Fox News’ New York City headquarters for an intensive week-long, hands-on technical training session before being dispatched to their coverage location. Once dispatched, reporters receive daily guidance and feedback from management. Whether it’s an assignment manager reviewing daily pitches, a senior vice president evaluating production and writing skills or a veteran correspondent critiquing storytelling, Fox News challenges the MMRs to continually hone their journalistic skills and capabilities.
