Sports reporter | Idaho State Journal (Pocatello, ID)

Idaho State Journal, East Idaho's leading news source, is looking for a high energy sports reporter to cover local high school and NCAA Division I athletics. This is a full-time position that includes benefits and a 401K. Ideally, we want to hire someone with previous sports writing experience or someone well trained enough to hit the ground running covering East Idaho's vibrant and diverse sports scene. The job requires someone who can build sources, cover a beat, and write engaging sports stories quickly under deadline. You need to be able to keep in-game stats, feel comfortable using social media, especially Twitter, in your reporting and ideally, be able to shoot and post photos and videos to go with your stories. The person we hire will cover high school sporting events as well as the athletic scene at Division I Idaho State University. The Idaho State Journal is a 15,000 circulation daily newspaper but we consider ourselves to be a web first publication and we're looking for candidates who approach the job with the knowledge that most of our readers are online. The Idaho State Journal is located in Pocatello, an East Idaho city of about 55,000 people located within a two to three hour drive of Salt Lake City, Boise and Yellowstone National Park. If you enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and hiking, you will love East Idaho. Please email your cover letter, resume and work samples to Sports Editor Madison Guernsey at mguernsey@journalnet.com
