    Manchester Times - Manchester, TN 37355
    Do you want to cover local sports for a multi-media news organization? Do you have a strong desire for story-telling and know how to dig past the score for the deeper story? Then we are looking for you to join our team! The Manchester Times, a Tennessee Press Association award-winning weekly newspaper, has an immediate opening for a sports reporter on its staff. Basic writing and photography skills are necessary, and a grasp of basic AP style is required. Strong understanding of social media, particularly Twitter and Facebook, is a must. The ability to write and report to different audiences is a necessary skill – digital, print and social. Ideal candidate will be able to build photo slideshows and shoot basic video to be included with game coverage. MUST be able to build and maintain relationships with coaches, players and community members. This position is a one-person sports department – candidate must be self-motivated, organized and able to handle covering multiple sporting events at once. Degree in journalism preferred, but willing to train the right candidate.
