The Temple Daily Telegram, a newspaper in Central Texas between Austin and Waco, seeks a talented, motivated sports writer to add to our full-time staff.

The candidate selected will play a vital role in coverage of the 26 high schools and two colleges in the Telegram’s circulation area. We cover Temple, Belton and 24 other high schools plus NJCAA Division I Temple College and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, an NCAA Division III school in Belton that has won a national title in football.

The prospective journalist will have opportunities to write game stories, features, breaking news and columns. The ideal candidate must have a strong knowledge of and passion for sports, be organized, creative and self-motivated, and possess the skills to excel under deadline pressure.

Working nights and weekends is required. Although primarily a writing position, this job also will include some page design and copy editing duties. Experience at a daily newspaper is desired, but a recent college graduate with outstanding work examples and strong references will be considered.

Serious, qualified applicants are encouraged to send a résumé (with references), cover letter and seven to 10 relevant work examples to Telegram sports editor Eric Drennan at edrennan@tdtnews.com, jprickett@tdtnews.com and edla@tdtnews.com.
