Assistant Sports Editor, Carlise, PA

The award-winning Sentinel of Carlisle, Pa., has an immediate opening for an assistant sports editor. Our readers expect top-notch coverage on everything from youth and high school sports to local auto racing and Penn State football – and they want it fast. We’re looking for someone who reports and writes from a reader’s perspective and understands how the Internet has changed reader expectations.

The successful candidate will be able to develop and produce story ideas for print and the Web, deliver quality work on deadline and work well independently. Applicants must have, as a minimum, a bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience and at least a year of managerial experience. The assistant sports editor also shares page design work with the staff, so familiarity with InDesign and Photoshop or equivalent software is necessary.
