ASSOCIATE EDITOR/STAFF WRITER
Monthly magazine
Here's a great opportunity for a professional who loves baseball and is passionate about making each new issue better than the one before it. In this position at St. Louis Cardinals Gameday Magazine, the successful applicant will stay involved with every facet of the magazine's editorial operation - from developing, assigning and writing stories, through final page production. While on-the-job experience will enhance an applicant's candidacy, we're also eager to hear from new grads with great clips, a sharp mind and lots of initiative. Because we're a small staff, you'll learn the business in its entirety and be able to develop and implement fresh ideas. Our offices are in Busch Stadium, our monthly circulation is 25,000 and we've been publishing since 1992.
ESSENTIAL SKILLS
* Knowledge of baseball: Must follow the sport and know its history. We want to entertain and educate readers, not state the obvious or rehash what's available elsewhere.
* Editing: Excellent command of the language and a style book, with a flair for editing longer features and the commitment to do whatever it takes to improve a story.
* Writing: Develop and compose timeless features about a wide variety of baseball topics.
* Research: Accuracy is paramount, and so is insight. You should have experience using a wide range of resources to develop features you write and to clean up those submitted by others. Just as important as knowing where to look for confirmation/information, you should know which sources to avoid.
* Photography: It helps if you were a photographer in a previous life, since you'll help assign and select photos for feature articles.
* Organization/discipline: Know how to stay on task and on schedule through the entire publishing cycle.
* Computers: Macintosh skills, with some familiarity of Quark, Adobe products and similar publishing software.
SALARY/BENEFITS
Based on experience.
Send resume, clips and cover letter before May 31 to:
