Please send resume, writing and design samples to Managing Editor Felicia Frazar at felicia.frazar@seguingazette.com . No phone calls, please.

 

I had this job for about a year before moving on to cover Clemson and eventually the Carolina Panthers. It’s a small town but high school sports in Texas are damn near a “pro” or collegiate beat. Great newsroom, good people and it’s close to Austin/San Marcos/San Antonio.

If you’re looking to get your foot in the door, it’s a good place to do so
