Sports Editor wanted for 11,000-circulation afternoon daily in southwest Mississippi. The ideal candidate must be able to cover the Big 3 of sports — baseball, basketball and football — as well as give due attention to other activities, from swimming to volleyball and track and field.
Organizational skills and the ability to work under tight deadlines are a must. Mastery of Quark Xpress and AP style are essential, as is strong writing and editing skills and a solid news judgment.
Our sports department is a one-man show. The newspaper has one staff photographer who has an eagle eye and covers most local sporting events. The ideal candidate also must be able to manage and recruit stringers, work with coaches and write compelling sports features.
This paper's primary sports coverage includes four high schools and a community college in Pike County, Miss., as well as about a half dozen other schools in neighboring counties and Tangipahoa Parish, La.
Our sports pages also focus on the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), Mississippi State University, the University of Southern Mississippi and Louisiana State University, as well as the local kids who make good and get into the NFL, Major Leagues or the NBA.
McComb is a little more than an hour's drive away from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Jackson and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The cost of living is low, the team rivalries are intense and opportunity is knocking.
Send resume, cover letter and clips immediately to P.O. Box 2009, McComb, MS 39649, [email protected] or by fax to (601)684-0836.
