Description:

A suburban Twin Cities chain of newspapers is looking for an enterprising sports editor/sports reporter who is adept at producing stories and photographs on a wide variety of sports and recreation topics, both news and features. The candidate must be able to produce sports sections for multiple newspapers and post between-publications sports information online.

This is a key position, demanding a high level of skill, organization and determination. The candidate should be passionate about writing; be able to connect with readers, athletes and coaches; and be sensitive to the dynamics of rapidly developing suburbs with large high schools.

The candidate must be creative and have a strong visual sense.

Training in journalism in general and sports reporting in particular are required. Experience with Microsoft Word and Photoshop is a plus. Applications from Twin Cities-area residents are encouraged.

 

Great to see the company hide like this. Wonder if it's Sun Newspapers or Southwest Newspapers.
