    The Seguin Gazette, an award-winning daily publication in the heart of South Central Texas, is looking for a talented and versatile sports reporter/editor.

    The sports editor in Seguin is a high-profile member of our staff. He or she covers three school districts, four high schools and Texas Lutheran University. The position lays out not only the sports pages, but also builds the full product in the absence of the managing editor. It requires a high-energy individual who is capable of switching gears on the fly. We’re a small staff, so while mainly responsible for sports, this position is also an integral part of our news team. Applicants will be expected to shoot photos, layout our daily sports page and make effective use of various social media platforms. Experience with Adobe InDesign is preferred.

    Seguin is a quirky and historic city of just over 30,000. Only 30 minutes from San Antonio and an hour from Austin, this is a rapidly expanding community built along the banks of the Guadalupe River and located in one of the nation’s fastest growing counties.

    A part of Southern Newspapers, Incorporated, which operates 15 other papers — including the Galveston County Daily News and our nearby sister paper The New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, the Seguin Gazette offers market competitive wages and a full range of benefits. In addition to our daily paper, the Gazette also publishes a bi-monthly magazine and a wide variety of glossy products — including "Gameday," our annual high school football preview magazine.

    Contact Publisher Jeff Fowler at jeff.fowler@seguingazette.com or Managing Editor Travis Webb at travis.webb@seguingazette.com to apply. Please include a cover letter, clips and portfolio work with your resume.

    I'm the current sports editor and can answer any questions you have about the job. Great newsroom in a talent-rich area, you'll have plenty to cover out here.

    How is the area for someone looking to leave a big city and possibly find a place to retire?

    Area's got something for everybody; if you can't find what you're looking for in Seguin, you'll find it in a surrounding town, all of which are within driving distance. It's definitely a lot slower of a pace than a big city, so if you're looking to wind down, I'd recommend sending your info in

    Here's a question, eh. Does Tyler Seguin live in Tyler or Seguin?

    How soon are you hoping to hire someone? Also, what if I am currently a general assignment reporter at my current job, can I send in clips of me covering sports while I was in graduate school? I covered the Ole Miss Men's Basketball team during my tenure there.

    Looking to hire someone ASAP, I leave in two weeks and fall sports season begins in mid-August. Feel free to send in sports clips; I won't be making the hiring decision but we are still taking resumes.
