Prep sports reporter
The News-Leader Media Group in Springfield, Mo., is looking for a sports journalist to cover and coordinate high school sports for our print and online publications.
We are a community-focused media company creating deep local sports content for a daily and Sunday newspaper, weekly newspapers, several Web sites and a mobile site.
The ideal candidate has experience covering prep sports and understands and appreciates why high school athletics are important to big and little communities alike.
You have a track record of writing quickly and clearly about sports and can deliver enterprise beyond players, teams and game results by digging deeper to give fans a fuller picture of what goes on behind the scenes. We're very interested in explaining the latest trends in high school sports.
You also can assign reporting and photography freelancers to get the best games covered on deadline and on budget.
We’re a Gannett media company and at the forefront of developing content for multiple print and online platforms. We’re reinventing our newsroom, so you’ll need to be energized by innovation and change. You may be creating multimedia content – including audio clips, podcasts, videos, photos and photo galleries – and you’ll certainly interact with our readers/users through blogs, online forums and beat advisory groups.
Up for the challenge? Send your cover letter, resume and digital work samples to Pam Clark, sports editor, at [email protected]. If you have a Web site with work examples, please send along the URL.
We have competitive salaries, a 401(k), and health and education benefits. For its size, the News-Leader Media Group has one of the most diverse newsrooms in the country. We embrace diversity and all the benefits that it brings.
Springfield is in southwest Missouri and the third largest city in the state. It’s an easy drive to Kansas City, St. Louis and Tulsa, Okla. The area is home to Missouri State University and several private universities and colleges. It is a regional health care center with two large systems. Branson, a national live entertainment and leisure destination, is nearby. The region boasts a highly diversified economy and is annually rated one of the best places in the country for families with children, entrepreneurs and small businesses. It’s also among the most affordable places to live. Springfield is a lively sports town that hosts a Double-A pro baseball team affiliated with the big league St. Louis Cardinals, Division I college sports at Missouri State University, and several quality small-college programs nearby. Finally, we’re in the heart of the Ozarks mountain region, which has an international reputation for great outdoor recreation, including world-class hunting, fishing and water sports such as canoeing and kayaking.
