Sports reporter/photographer at New Mexico weekly

The Valencia County News-Bulletin, a state and national award-winning weekly newspaper, is looking for an ambitious sports reporter who can also handle feature and news writing. Unlike some weeklies, the News-Bulletin has three school districts and multiple sports to cover in the fall, winter and spring, and summer baseball and softball. The job requires setting priorities and building contacts with coaches.
Previous experience with sports reporting, newspaper design, layout and photography is a must. Minimum requirements include the ability to write clearly and concisely, create content for the web and a comfort using multimedia platforms is preferred. Reliable transportation and the willingness to work evenings is required in order to cover games throughout the year. A reliable vehicle, insurance and a valid driver’s license are required.
As part of Number Nine Media, the Valencia County News-Bulletin offers a full benefits package.
We are a drug-free workplace and all applicants considered for employment must pass a post-offer drug screen and background check prior to commencing employment.
