Seeking senior sports writer
Ready for the next step in your sports writing career? If so, we could be that next step, and the one after that as there is room for advancement.
We are looking for a sports writer with 3-5 years of experience under the belt who places a premium on good work, has a strong work ethic and talent to be part of a 3-person staff. The successful candidate is one who can set aside ego and work alongside his or her teammates in bringing the best local coverage to our readers.
The Greenwood (S.C.) Index-Journal, a 12,000-plus circulation daily newspaper, is no second-rate publication. We take pride in our work, and it shows in the number of S.C. Press Association awards we have received the past several years. And that includes numerous awards for sports feature and news writing. We cover nearly a dozen schools — public and private — and have two colleges we regularly cover, Lander University and Erskine College. Sure, football is king, but we don’t ignore the other sports, and there’s plenty to be covered. And plenty of talent out there to supply a good flow of feature material.
We’re a family owned newspaper that puts the emphasis where it needs to be – on local coverage. Other newspapers are struggling to stay in business, but we know that solid local content is what brings readers back to our newspaper and website.
The ideal candidate must understand local sports matter and be able to convey that through stories and photos. He or she must also understand the importance of digital-first journalism, using social media and video to tell their stories. The ideal candidate must be aggressive, creative and thorough. Key ingredients are pride in work and a passion for journalism.
If you think this sounds like a good fit for you, and you have the desire to help us continue our award-winning, public-serving publication, let us hear from you.
If interested, send a cover letter, résumé, at least five clips (writing and page design, preferred) and references (via regular mail or email) to:
Richard Whiting
Executive Editor

Greenwood, SC 29648

No phone calls, please.

Posted earlier today about a sports writer position at the Index-Journal in Greenwood, S.C. This is a separate position. I'm not going to get into why this job is open, but I can assure you it's justified. Lots of good people in Greenwood, and this is a leadership position in the sports department. Quality journalism is a paramount objective for the folks in Greenwood. If you've got questions, please do not hesitate to message me. -- Scott
