We will be hiring a sports reporter at The Northwest Herald. This is to replace Ross Jacobson, who has been hired to be the sports editor of The Daily Chronicle.
My first day in Crystal Lake is Aug. 20, so try to apply before then so I can get started on the search immediately.

Description:
The Northwest Herald, a 34,000-circulation daily newspaper based in Chicago's far northwest suburbs, is seeking a reporter to join its award-winning team of sports writers. This is a full-time position with a primary focus on prep sports, with some pro and college sports assignments and column-writing responsibilities.
Our team works hard to compete in a crowded market where we aren't the biggest player but own our coverage area, largely because of our prep sports coverage. We need someone who understands that although the way in which we deliver information continues to expand and evolve, the core of what we do – telling meaningful stories about sports and those who play – remains the same. In addition to writing, preferred candidates will have some on-camera experience as well as ability to build and connect with our audience through social media.
The hours for this position call for night and weekend availability. Candidates should have a college degree in journalism or related field and previous experience. This position requires a thorough understanding of AP style and demonstrated ability to excel on deadline. Must have a valid drivers license, dependable transportation and proof of insurance.
Qualified candidates should send a résumé, cover letter, and work samples to:
Shaw Media - Human Resources
