The Mission FOX6 Milwaukee is looking for a detail-oriented, creative, high-caliber journalist to lead our investigative team and our Contact 6 consumer advocacy unit. We need an Executive Producer who can manage major investigative projects, oversee our investigative podcast, and reimagine how deep-dive stories reach modern audiences on streaming, digital, and broadcast.
This isn't a role spent sitting in an office waiting for project updates. We need a hands-on leader who is in the middle of our daily news operation—working alongside reporters and producers every day to bring investigative thinking, public records digging, and relentless follow-up into our everyday coverage.

What You’ll Do
- Lead and inspire seasoned investigative journalists to conceive, execute, and deliver multi-platform investigative projects and consumer advocacy coverage.
- Work directly with daily news reporters and producers to bring an investigative lens, public records strategies, and deeper context into daily enterprise reporting.
- Collaborate with news managers to build a high-trust newsroom culture through open communication and clear feedback.
- Keep momentum going on major stories across all platforms.
- Serve as a trusted advisor on complex journalistic ethics, legal vetting, public records requests, and investigative standards.
- Work across departments to drive new strategies for distributing investigative work beyond packageable content.
What You Bring
- Proven track record producing or managing investigative journalism, enterprise reporting, or long-form investigative units.
- Sharp project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple initiatives, keep cross-department teams aligned, and keep long-term investigations on schedule while staying involved in daily newsroom needs.
- Ability to coach journalists past standard TV package formats into dynamic visual storytelling built for modern audiences.
- Clear strategy for distributing investigative work across streaming, digital video, podcast, and social media platforms.
- Strong command of legal standards, FOIA/public records laws, libel law, and ethical newsgathering techniques.
- Experience using modern newsroom production software, with the adaptability to quickly master our station's specific workflow tools.
