    Description:
    Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are at the core of our mission to strengthen and empower the communities we serve.

    Advance Media New York is looking for a sports reporter to join our team covering the Syracuse University football team for Syracuse.com and The Post-Standard. We're looking for someone who can break news, develop sources and isn't afraid to ask the tough questions.





    This opportunity includes gameday coverage, recruiting updates, post-game analysis and enterprise reporting of a resurgent ACC program. The reporter would travel to all road games.

    Our ideal candidate will have demonstrated an ability to:

    • Build sources. How will you find exclusive information?
    • Write and report with distinction. Can you show us something you've done that stands out?
    • Work hard. Do you have the motor for a demanding, fast-paced job?
    • Build and engage an audience on social media, newsletters and podcasts.
    • Create audio, video and photo content.
    Every candidate should have a track record of reporting and writing interesting stories that promote social engagement. The ideal candidate sees creative story ideas; is comfortable creating audio and visuals; and engages with our readers.

    The reporter is critical to our organizational success and is charged with covering news for the area's leading news website. This is a fast-paced beat in a dynamic, engaged community.

    The right candidate understands the importance of breaking news quickly and accurately, is versatile, and can add depth and a human perspective to news stories. Candidates should also be able to balance day-to-day news coverage with longer-term enterprise projects.

    This position pays between $50,000 to $65,000 annually.





    With your application, please include a cover letter, telling us why you’d be a good fit for this position and provide links to your stories.
