This job has always been a launching pad for as long as I've known it. The last six people to hold the job all moved on fairly quickly for pay promotions, and that's what we want out of this hire, too. We're looking for an ace who'll do great work with us, get there from here, and keep this...

The Opelika-Auburn News, an award-winning daily newspaper in eastern Alabama, has an immediate opening for a reporter to cover Auburn University sports with a focus on football and men’s basketball. This is a prime opportunity for a reporter to sink their teeth into a major college sports beat...

I feel like this should be a separate thread at this point, but to answer your question I wasn't there writing a story on the game. I was shooting it while in town for a softball series. I know I'd have felt the same no matter if the team was local or not. That shouldn't make a difference to...

I see what you're saying and that's totally valid. Personally, I just really didn't like the appeal at the high school level in a season-ending situation. I'm also the world's biggest hater of open-court fast-break showmanship dunks getting called back for traveling, and I think it's dumb when...

> What an ass. Sports aren't real. Get a frign grip. Loser. What's real is the thousands and thousands of dollars spent to operate high school sports programs at tremendous financial loss to communities. I saw what looked to me like a coach trading the spirit of the game away for a $12 trophy...

I work here. You'd be my boss. Yes, they are still accepting applications and looking for someone. There are four of us on sports staff, and our sports editor would be the fifth. I don't know, man -- all in all, I think it can be a pretty sweet fit for the right person. Unlike horror stories I...

Does anyone have any examples of some of the different ways sportswriters are using Periscope? Who are some folks that I could follow that are using it? In theory there are obviously a ton of things you can do with it, but I'd like to see what some are doing in practice. I can't really find...

I've thought about Snapchat a lot, and really the only use I think it might have is if you wanted to receive photos/information from your readers. Maybe on a high school football Friday, young folks would be more inclined to interact and send in score updates with photos from the stands through...

I know this thread is ancient, but I thought I'd share how I use Vine on high school football Fridays, in case someone is interested. I noticed that most posting in this thread couldn't find the value in Vine, but I love it. I use it mostly at high school football games, when I'm taking stats...
