The Opelika-Auburn News has a longstanding tradition of nationally recognized sports coverage, having consistently been ranked as a national Top 10 sports team with APSE and various other honors. Our coverage area includes a rich prep scene that features 19 schools from small communities to big-time programs ripe each year for Division I college recruiting. We also go all-out in our coverage of Auburn University, which consistently ranks among the top college sports programs in the nation.
We are looking for a sportswriter who can help with our coverage of preps and Auburn while also being an effective desk manager who can work shifts in the office, take calls, work fast, and be a sharp editor when reviewing page proofs from our designers.
It's a fantastic sports scene for aspiring and proven sportswriters alike. Our next hire must be adept with digital and social media skills and understand what it means to be productive on a daily basis and capable of working with a sense of breaking-news urgency. Pre-employment background and drug screen required.
