If you are looking to get involved with your community…..then this may just the thing you are looking for. Nevada County Now is our flagship project that not only delivers news to the community, but helps people learn all of the aspects of live television, and all that goes into producing it. NCM is looking for folks who are wishing to volunteer in front and behind the camera. It is the ultimate volunteer project that benefits all of the community. Simply show up and audition or chat with us about how to get involved.
Below are the positions we are seeking:
Nightly News Hosts - The “news host” role for the nightly news is the person that is delivering the information, as well as introducing and chatting with guests. We have both regular and guest host positions.
Segment Host - The “segment host” covers art, music, stage, events, sports, history, and more. Host roles include delivering information about that topic, as well as lining up guests to speak with in their particular segment.
Interview Host - This is for individuals who like doing a bit of research about people and then chatting with them about a variety of topics. These are much longer interviews than those scheduled for the nightly news and usually touch on the tougher topics.
Small Town Stories Storyteller - This is for individuals who like telling a story about a person or topic. They are the person behind story. This role helps write the copy for the stories, as well as works with the field crew to capture the story, and the editor to help record the voice-over to bring it together.
Graphics Guru - This position is for those who like creating the look of a project. The needs are fairly simple and usually require a fast turn around.
Episode Producer Trainee - If you are someone who would like to learn what it takes to put together a “live recorded” news show, well look no further. This is both rewarding and a pretty easy process.
Field Crew - If you are someone who wants to help gather b-roll or shoot field interviews, this is a fun project to volunteer your time on.
Studio Crew - If you would like to volunteer but have no clue what your doing, no worries…….NCN is a program that unites people of all skill sets. The program always needs researchers, writers, greeters, and runners.
Promotional - If you are someone who likes spreading the word, then this is a perfect project for you. It includes everything from writing promo scripts, to passing out “how to watch” cards at events.
Please do not wear green if you are coming for an on-camera screening.
Volunteers receive a free membership and hours are eligible for our volunteer swap program.
IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO GET INVOLVED BUT DON’T KNOW HOW YOU FIR IN, SHOW UP TO THIS CASTING CALL.
