    The Sterling Journal-Advocate, in Sterling, Colorado, is seeking a full time sports reporter to cover high school and junior college sports in Logan County as well as active city and summer recreation programs. The newspaper prints six days a week and maintains a website and social media presence.

A Bachelor’s degree in Journalism or related field is preferred; previous experience in the field is a plus.

    Sterling is the largest city in the northeastern part of the state, with a population of just under 15,000. It is less than two hours from both Denver and Fort Collins.

    We offer a competitive wage and benefits package including medical, dental and vision insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, Company-paid life insurance, a 401(k) retirement savings plan, and immediate eligibility for paid time off.

    Interested individuals should send resume, with salary requirements, to jobs@dailycamera.com. Please enter “Sports Reporter” in the subject line of your email.

    15K, based on 40-hr work week, is $7.21 an hour. Colorado minimum wage is $8.23.

    This was a "featured job" in the right gutter on JJ.com?

    They figure you can't get high on a supply at that rate.

    The sad part is we all know if you are doing a good job it's closer to 50 hours than 40. So, more like $6 an hour

    And you're nowhere near Denver or the mountains -- this is in the middle of the northeast Plains. It's more of a Nebraska job than Colorado.

    It's going to be a lot more difficult to forage for food on the plains of eastern Colorado than it would be in the more temperate lush forested regions.

    I applied. They said I could run free classified ads for handjobs to supplement my income.
