Job Description
TriStateFootball.com (TSF) is looking for a hard-working and energetic freelance sports reporter to cover high school football in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky.
TSF seeks a dynamic reporter who is digitally savvy. The ideal candidate will use reporting skills to find and tell compelling human-interest stories and identify interesting trends for stories that go beyond what happened on the court or field or during an athlete's commitment ceremony.
This position requires multimedia skills, the ability to produce and edit video and engage audiences on social media. The best candidate will have dynamic writing ability and the knowledge to write about football. We want someone who is ambitious, thinks big, writes with authority and has a passion for storytelling and breaking news before our competitors.
A large part of this role will involve producing game-night content for TSF and its media partners and will require tight deadlines to be hit. Availability on Friday nights from mid-August through November is a must.
Responsibilities:
  • Maintain a solid knowledge of high school football and local recruiting.
  • Connect with the community through social media.

  • Provide great customer service, representing the brand with dignity at all times.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's in communications, journalism or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • This can be an entry-level position, but 1-2 years' reporting/newsroom experience is preferred.
  • Adept at taking photos and video and the ability to file quickly across platforms: mobile, desktop and social media.
  • Strong command of grammar and AP style.
  • Strong copy-editing skills and the ability to produce content that is clean, accurate and "publication ready."
  • Passionate and enthusiastic about news and content that will work well with audiences on social platforms.
  • Comfortable in fluid, fast-breaking, stressful situations.
  • A desire to grow.
  • Comfortable using social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to enhance reporting and promote stories.
  • Understands reporting ethics and sourcing.
  • Excels in a fast-paced news environment and understands the digital first mission.
  • Collaborates well with others and can work with a team on the biggest stories.
  • This role requires a valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and the minimum liability insurance required by state law.
