Grants Pass (Ore.) sports writer

The Grants Pass Daily Courier seeks a sports writer interested in working and living in the scenic Rogue Valley of Oregon. We’re looking for an enthusiastic reporter who can turn a phrase and refuses to churn out dull copy. Our approach emphasizes human beings first and statistics second. The successful candidate will write at least one feature a week, staff games, work the desk and write an occasional enterprise piece. Photography skills are a must. Page design and video skills are a bonus.
We have seven high schools in our coverage area, along with Southern Oregon University.
Hours frequently include evenings and weekends; salary is $30,000 a year plus a benefits package that includes employer-paid medical, profit sharing and more. Send resume, cover letter and five (no more, no less) writing samples to Sports Editor Ben Maki at bmaki@thedailycourier.com
If you have design experience, please send three samples.

 

This one is open again, because the previous hire is getting married and moving to another state to move in with his wife-to-be.
