South Bend Tribune

South Bend, IN

The South Bend Tribune is looking for a hard-charging journalist to join our Notre Dame sports
group and become an essential member of a team covering Irish football. We're looking for
someone who can work on tight deadlines -- covering everything from ND football games to
recruiting news -- but also generate in-depth enterprise stories.
We want someone who can work well on a team, but also have the confidence to develop their
own stories. You will contribute to daily coverage, an annual football preview magazine, a
weekly game preview section, our primary digital platform (ndinsider.com) and a variety of social
media channels, among other platforms.

A strong social media presence is essential, as is a willingness to participate in multi-media
projects and to field TV and radio appearances. This is a chance to flex your journalism muscle,
build your personal brand and cover one of the top college sports programs in the country.
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 3-5 years of experience reporting on college or pro
sports for a newspaper, web site or other digital outlet; essential writing, reporting and editing
skills, as well as a working knowledge of relevant college sports are a must.

To apply, go to http://www.schurz.jobs/sbt and search for SBT2198. We offer a competitive
salary, benefits, PTO and 401(k). Applicants must be able to pass a background screen and
drug test.

The South Bend Tribune is owned by a wonderful parent company, Schurz Communications,
Inc., which owns television, radio, cable and newspaper properties throughout the country.
