SPORTS REPORTER



If you long to be under the lights on a Friday night, the Big Rapids Pioneer is looking for a sports reporter to round out our talented sports desk.



This reporter would be responsible for coverage of Ferris State University athletics, as well as eight local prep schools. Experience working in video, page design and social media are preferred. Strong photography skills would be a huge asset in this position.



As part of our sports desk, your work will appear mainly in the Pioneer, our six-day-a-week paper with a circulation of about 5,000, but you'll also be featured in our sister publications in Reed City and Baldwin. Pioneer Group is a family-owned company where young reporters are encouraged to learn on the job and try new things -- a great place to start for someone looking to gain experience in the field. Also, we run a weekly craft beer column, which speaks volumes about our newsroom culture and our community at large. You'll like working here!



With the winter sports season a couple of weeks away, please don't delay. State/regional candidates preferred. Submit a cover letter, resume and clips of both sports features and game coverage to Editor in Chief Jim Crees atjcrees@pioneergroup.com.
