Description:

The Facts, a 15,000-circulation daily newspaper and website serving the Texas Gulf Coast for 100 years, is seeking the second person for our two-person sports staff. The position is a roughly 60-40 mix of page production and writing, so strong word and design skills both are a necessity. Game coverage in multiple sports and column writing are part of the opportunity. This is an ideal position for a recent college graduate, or a person at a weekly, semiweekly or smaller daily looking to move up.

ABOUT US: Surfside Beach is at our coverage area's back door, and Houston is near its front door. We offer the amenities of coastal living, the convenience and comfort of a small town, and proximity to Houston for our employees to enjoy everything a big city has to offer. We offer competitive pay and benefits, plus a fun work environment and editors who focus on developing employees' strengths.

HOW TO APPLY: Send a resume and six of your best clips, both writing and design, to Managing Editor Michael Morris, 720 S. Main St., Clute TX 77531 or e-mail to michael.morris@thefacts.com.

 

From what I've heard this gig is more like 80 percent desk and 20 percent writing. But the SE Joel Luna is a great guy.

 

Can't say anything about the position, but I've done some freelance work for Joel and he's always been awesome to work with.
