This is for the same position listed on Indeed and already posted in this forum, but with more detail:
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, located in Little Rock, is seeking a sports reporter to cover and keep the pulse of athletics at Arkansas State University, the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, the University of Central Arkansas and the University of Arkansas Pine-Bluff.
In past years, previous beat writers traveled to New Orleans to cover the Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, to Denver to chronicle No. 12 seed UALR’s first-round upset of No. 5 seed Purdue in the 2016 men’s NCAA Tournament, and to Tucson for coverage of Arkansas State’s Arizona Bowl loss to Nevada this past season.
During football season, Arkansas State is the main objective of the beat writer. In basketball season, it is UALR men's and women's basketball.
In the collegiate offseason, this position serves as the primary beat writer for the Arkansas Travelers, a Class AA baseball affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.
Applicants should have strong reporting skills, a commitment to accuracy, an ability to adjust to multiple deadlines and a dedication to knowing what is happening on their beat. Writing for a digital world and social-media skills are also required skills.
Experienced and entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply. Out-of-state candidates will be considered.
Applicants should submit a resume, cover letter and five writing samples to Assistant Sports Editor Jason Yates at [email protected], or mail your material to 121 E. Capitol Ave., Little Rock AR, 72201, attention Jason Yates. References will be required upon request.
