The sports editor must have a sense of urgency about breaking news and look for ways to tell stories with digital elements such as video, slideshows and databases, using social media to promote coverage visibility and interaction. You must be an excellent writer with a proven ability to work with reporters on story development and completion, holding staff to high standards while treating them with respect and professionalism.
