Must have a solid knowledge of sports, with emphasis on prep sports. Knowledge and experience should include research, database and computer-assisted reporting, copy editing, page proofing, online and multimedia delivery, headline writing, ability to communicate with public, ability to use social media for communication and research, ability to work in a collaborative environment. The successful candidate will have a college degree or equivalent experience, a minimum of five years daily newspaper/editing experience or equivalent, excellent time management and organizational skills, including ability to accurately gauge project duration, deliver on deadlines, and manage a workload with possible conflicting priorities.

While I am unable to apply for this position, the folks that I met through an internship while attending nearby VU were really nice. This would be a great job to have for a solid newspaper.
 
Where's the ad? The site only has an opening for a writer position

With fall sports around the corner, is their a specific timeframe for having someone in the office?
 
Have you not gotten many decent applicants, or was this a decision to sit on the opening so you wouldn't have to pay a sports editor through the slow summer months?

It seems like the position has been open for quite awhile, and you're still at the "e-mail me your resume" phase ...
 
If anything, they'd want the sports editor there during summer because that's when planning starts for fall football sections, college FB coverage and stuff that goes on in the slow months. I know they cover Little League, Big League and travel teams and Cubs/White Sox home games with George Castle.
 
My old roommate told me he heard this one is still open four months later. Thought I'd give it a little bump to find out the word on the street.
?
 
Paul Trembacki is listed as the interim sports editor online. I'm kind of curious myself about this if it's not filled. Seems like a pretty good job to be open this long.
