Sports reporter, The Daily Republic, Mitchell, S.D.

The Daily Republic, a six-day newspaper in Mitchell, S.D., seeks a full-time sports reporter. Mitchell is a sports-crazed town that includes two high schools, a four-year college, 40 schools in the region and America's best pheasant hunting.

As if that isn't enough to keep us busy, our county is home to two first-round pro sports draft picks in the past decade.

This position is perfect for a seasoned writer or a recent college graduate who wants daily experience. The perfect candidate will understand how to gather and write sports "news," and not just be content to produce fill-in-the-blank game coverage. Candidates absolutely must have an insurable driving record.

Send resumes and clips to Sports Editor Leah Rado, Box 1288, Mitchell, S.D., 57301. Email resumes and clips to lrado@mitchellrepublic.com.

Anyone know about this paper? Seems like an O.K. spot.

 

Two words about this job: Corn Palace.

 

Mitchell is the home of Mike Miller of Florida Gators and NBA journeyman fame. Quality sports staff for the size of the paper too, which I guess matters more than Mike Miller.

 

Oh, and Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway is from right down the road in Mount Vernon.

 

But do they have a Corn Cob king and queen competition each year?
