****, the *** -owned affiliate in Minneapolis, MN is looking for an experienced investigative multi-skilled journalist to help maintain our tradition of superior reporting and newsgathering. We are interested in finding a journalist who can create unique, memorable and well written stories, who can share them on all platforms with a mix of outstanding photography and unforgettable editing.
