About The Position
The Opelika-Auburn News has a long history of producing some of the best sports reporting in the nation, as evidenced by numerous past national awards, including the Grand Slam title -- top-10 daily, Sunday special sections, and top-10 website -- and the advancement of former staffers to top-notch jobs on the national scene. We’re in the heart of SEC country and cover Auburn University sports, as well as a vibrant prep sports scene that includes everything from D-I blue-chip recruits down to kids playing ball in little more than a hayfield. We need a sportswriter who can write with flair and ease for the reader, knows what readers want online and in print, smiles at the challenge of tight deadlines, and can work on a small team in Sports, and hand-in-hand with the News team as needed (we often put big sports stories from Auburn on A1). Experience with photography and videography is preferred but not required; we offer training opportunities for enthusiastic learners. Previous newspaper/web sports experience is preferred, but entry-level candidates with college success will be considered. You must be able to work nights, weekends and holidays as needed.
