Sports Reporter - Bennington, Vt.

JournalismJobs.com - Job Listing - Sports Reporter

Description:
The Bennington (Vt.) Banner is looking to hire a sports writer who seeks the challenge of doing work that matters and embraces the opportunities that our unique sports environment presents, in order to help us and our sister newspapers in Manchester and Brattleboro become the best community newspapers in America. Here, local sports matter — so you'll always be doing important work.

You'll write and edit for the Banner and the Manchester Journal, our weekly newspaper to the north. And you'll never be bored. In beautiful Southern Vermont, high schools sports take center stage, and outdoor sports are a way of life. We even put together our own annual Bennington Banner/Manchester Journal All Stars Gala honoring scores of the best athletes and coaches each spring.

We've got great preps to cover — recent state champions in lacrosse, baseball, snowboarding, football and soccer, and the most successful high school wrestling program ever to hit the mat in the state. But we also have Olympic and World Cup alpine and Nordic skiers in our backyard and a strong local golf scene. Hunting is part of our way of life. And Manchester is the birthplace of fly fishing in America.

We offer a competitive compensation package for the most qualified candidate, including health, dental, vision, and life insurances and a 401K.

We are locally owned. To learn more about the Bennington Banner and its New England Newspapers Inc. family, visit www.neni.news.

Prepare a brief cover letter, resume and three links/clips of your work and apply for this position at our application page.

We’re looking forward to meeting you.
