The Daily Chronicle in DeKalb, Ill., has an immediate opening for an energetic reporter to cover Northern Illinois University athletics.
This is an opportunity for a writer to spread his or her wings and cover a Division I college. We are looking for a reporter who can develop sources and stay on top of the news but also take chances with innovative enterprise and feature writing. It's the perfect environment and opportunity for a writer to grow while learning the ropes of covering a major college on a daily basis for the first time. The position will also have the opportunity to write special A1 Sunday features on a regular basis.
Qualified candidates should have experience in a deadline-driven daily or college newspaper environment and the demonstrated ability to write clear, concise and engaging sports stories and features. A candidate must have a passion for community sports journalism and the ability to work collaboratively with photographers and editors to produce a great newspaper. The position also includes coverage of high school athletics and limited page design responsibility. Knowledge of Quark is a plus.
The Huskies have a new men's basketball coach in Ricardo Patton and a new football coach in Jerry Kill, all within the past year, as well as an up-and-coming women's basketball program. DeKalb is a vibrant, growing Midwestern college town just an hour west of Chicago with a dedicated readership and a young, energetic sports department staff looking for the perfect complement for its coverage of Northern Illinois.
This position offers a competitive salary, excellent benefits package, and career progression possibilities. If interested in this excellent opportunity, please send, or e-mail a cover letter, resume, six writing samples (make them diverse with game stories, features and news) to: Jon Styf, Sports Editor; Daily Chronicle; 1586 Barber Greene Road; DeKalb, IL 60115
