from journalismjobs.com

The Oconee Enterprise, a 124 year old family owned weekly 8 miles from Athens, Ga., is seeking a sports editor. If you enjoy sports and are a recent journalism graduate or have 1 to 2 years of experience, this is a great opportunity to build your career.

Oconee County has five high schools, two middle schools, an active recreation department, and several other sports venues. While you can determine the content of the sports section, you should show a willingness to pursue stories assigned to you, and work with a team. Copy editing using AP Style, writing catchy headlines, taking photos, and layout are desirable skills. Experience with Quark Xpress is required. We have a completely electronic production process.

Company benefits are group health insurance, short term disability insurance, and 5 paid holidays. Two weeks of paid vacation are included while we are closed for the week of July 4th and the week of Christmas.

Candidates from this area (north Georgia) are preferred. Fax a cover letter, resume and 3 to 5 published clips to Maridee Williams, General Manager, at (706) 769-8532. You may also mail your information to PO Box 535, Watkinsville, GA 30677. Please do not use e-mail.
