Division I Sports Reporter -- Cedar City, Utah

Date Posted: June 15, 2015

Location: Cedar City, Utah

Job Status: Full-time

Salary: $25,000-$27,000

Website: thespectrum.com


We’re not simply looking for a sports reporter. We’re looking for somebody who wants to go beyond the numbers, who wants to stimulate community conversation through enterprising work, who wants to engage through social media.

The Spectrum & Daily News, the No. 1 source for news, sports and entertainment in southern Utah, has an immediate opening to cover Division I Southern Utah University of the Big Sky Conference. The ideal candidate will have a strong portfolio that shows more than game reporting, a hunger to be first with the story, a team-first attitude and a desire to do work that raises the bar for a sports section that is just beginning to find its identity.

The Spectrum & Daily News, headquartered in St. George, about two hours from Las Vegas, is the only daily newspaper south of Provo in the state of Utah. This job is based in our bureau office in Cedar City, about 45 minutes north of St. George and just minutes from the Southern Utah campus. This is a writing-only position; no desk work. The position is full time, with benefits.

Please send cover letter, resume and 3-5 clips to Executive Editor Steve Kiggins at skiggins@thespectrum.com. Complete a formal application here.

 

Steve is a great person to work for, and is doing some great things there. A great opportunity for someone.

 

Do you know how soon they are looking to fill the position? Would love this job but I'm in the middle of an internship right now...

 

It is an immediate opening.
