OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
Fox Sports

Built with brands capable of reaching more than 100 million viewers in a single weekend, FOX Sports includes the sports television arm of the FOX Network; FS1, FS2, FOX Soccer Plus and FOX Deportes, as well as a joint-venture business in the Big Ten Network and digital properties including http://FOXSports.com and the FOX Sports App. FOX Sports has delivered the most watched television program, NFL's America's Game of the Week on FOX, for fourteen consecutive years.
JOB DESCRIPTION
FOX Sports is seeking a Freelance Ticker Copy Editor, who will be responsible for writing and editing headlines as well as updating content for FS1, FS2 and FOX Broadcasting Company (FBC). While working on the network's various Tickers, the Freelance Ticker Copy Editor will be responsible for monitoring daily scores and news across the entire sports landscape to produce alerts, results, and other game-related information that will appear on FS1, FS2, and FBC.
Candidates should not only have a deep interest in all sports and a wide breadth of knowledge to inform their news judgment, but they also should know how to prioritize deadlines amid several day-to-day tasks. The successful employee will be able to make sound decisions quickly while demonstrating that they're meticulous copy editors and fact-checkers.
This is a temporary position with a length of service of 2-3 months. Candidates living in the greater Los Angeles area are preferred, but remote candidates will be considered.
A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Newsgathering, fact-checking, headline writing, and copy editing under intense minute-by-minute deadline conditions
  • Monitor the sports calendar and live events so that the Ticker always presents timely news, scores, and relevant information to viewers
  • Ensure all content in the Ticker is well-researched, logically structured, grammatically correct, and follows the department's editorial style
  • Check headlines and text before publishing for any potential legal issues, such as libelous statements or breach of copyright
  • Write and enable alerts for breaking news, network programming changes, and other significant sports updates
  • Manage and schedule promotional graphics to appear in the Ticker at designated times throughout the day and week

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Only applications that meet these qualifications and requirements will be considered
  • 2+ years of editorial experience, preferably in the online or TV medium
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and organizational skills
  • Familiar with working with Content Management Systems (CMS) and online publishing tools
  • Strong computer skills (Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook)
  • Strong critical thinking, news judgment, decision-making, planning, detail orientation, and a sense of urgency
  • Well-versed in using social media, the internet, and other internal sources (i.e., AP sports wire) for newsgathering and research purposes
  • Proven sports knowledge, including a deep understanding of sports beyond the four pro major sports leagues
  • Willing to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed (this is not negotiable)

NICE TO HAVE BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER
  • BS/BA in Journalism, Communications, English, or other related degree

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Pursuant to state and local pay disclosure requirements, the pay rate/range for this role, with final offer amount dependent on education, skills, experience, and location is $25.00-35.00 per hour for high cost labour markets such as but not limited to New York City and Los Angeles, $20.75-29.00 per hour for all other US locations.
