Are you passionate about sports? Are you all about delivering the stories of standout players to a community that embraces its local athletes?
If so, the Brownsville Herald, a daily newspaper owned by AIM Media Texas, seeks an energetic and organized sports editor in the state's Rio Grande Valley region.
The ideal candidate is enthusiastic, understands the value of community journalism, embraces social media and can bring fresh ideas to the table. They will need to be well-versed in page design and have the ability to inspire a staff of two full-time reporters and one part-time reporter. Candidates should have five years experience in the journalism field.
The Brownsville-Los Fresnos-Port Isabel area loves its sports, mainly of the high school, boxing and soccer varieties. High school sports are covered extensively, and the Herald -- along with the sports departments of the Valley Morning Star (Harlingen) and The Monitor (McAllen) -- contributes to RGVSports.com, our high school sports website. The three sports staffs also assist in the production of RGVSports.com The Magazine, a quarterly high school sports publication.
Regionally, there has been some exciting news recently. Space-X has selected Cameron County's Boca Chica Beach as the site of a rocket launch pad, and, in 2015, the University of Texas at Brownsville will merge with the University of Texas-Pan American to form the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. Herald associates also are a short drive from both South Padre Island and Mexico.
The Herald offers its employees a competitive salary and benefits. Fluency in Spanish is a big plus.
