Description:




Sauk Valley Media, publishers of the Telegraph and Daily Gazette, with a total print circulation of 17,000 in northern Illinois, seeks a versatile person to join its APSE-award-winning sports team. We are looking for a sports freak with strong skills in page design and copy editing who can also step away from the desk to cover a game or chase a story.

Sauk Valley Media offers a competitive salary and good benefits package, including health, dental & life insurance, and 401(k), and growth opportunities within the company, a 162-year-old family-owned media group. We are an equal opportunity employer; background check and drug screen required.

 

I grew up here. Very small town with no coffee shops there. Granted I moved out of state five years ago. You are about an hour from the Quad Cities and a three hour drive to Chicago. Never knew the staff so I can't comment on the people.
