We have an opening for a sports reporter position in our two-person sports department, and we're trying to fill it pretty quickly.

We're an afternoon paper Monday through Friday with no issue on Saturdays and a morning issue on Sunday. The job includes both writing and layout.

Here's the description:

The Paris News, a growing six-day-a-week afternoon newspaper in Northeast Texas, is looking for a sports writer to help cover 11 high schools, one junior college and a variety of youth sports and recreational activities. The candidate will also aid in page design.

Experience in InDesign and photography is a plus. 
Our company offers a complete benefits package, including health insurance, 401K and paid vacation. Salary is commensurate with experience.



Apply by sending a cover letter, resume, layout and writing samples to sports editor Brent Wilburn by e-mail at [email protected].
 
This opening was my former position. I got my start at The Paris News right out of college nearly three years ago and have been there ever since. The only reason I'm leaving now is for a non-journalism opportunity in Dallas. Brent is good people, as are the coaches and school admins you'll be working with.
 
This sounds like a pretty solid opportunity for someone looking to get into the business. I'll be sending my stuff in.

No Saturday edition means better in terms of Friday night deadlines. Probably do a story for the website, then come back with some sort of featurized follow for the Sunday edition. So a little different animal than other 7-day dailies.
