ABC News is looking for several “Runners”to help with the television production for both our Linear and Digital Coverage of the 2024 RNC in Milwaukee.
Candidates must have a strong interest in presidential politics, the fortitude to work hard and long hours, as well as being self-starters. Candidates must also have strong problem solving skills, strong organizational skills and be able to adapt to a fast changing, fast paced News environment . Excellent communication skills are a must.
These positions will work very closely with core ABC News production teams by supporting the live production coverage of the Convention. Responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, data entry, coordination of travel arrangements, runs for supplies to local resources (Loews, Staples, Walmart, etc.), circulation of editorial and production notes and the overall daily interaction with all facets of the production for both ABC News and ABC News Live. Candidates should be prepared to get hands on and be fully immersed in our team and with our needs.
Once again, this position is in Milwaukee WI, on site at the RNC.
Candidates with vehicles are preferred. Candidates must have local housing- no housing will provided.
Hours will vary, with a minimum shift of 8 hours but likely to go longer- possibly 12+ hours.
Potential start date of 7/5/24 with an expected end date of 7/20/24.
This is a paid, temporary position, allowing for an exceptional opportunity for an individual to see the political cycle from a totally inside, behind-the-scenes perspective.
