  • The ideal Digital Editor and Designer knows football, lives and breathes digital content, and is driven by a passion for storytelling and staying ahead of the competition.
  • Make a compelling narrative that aligns with the KUSI PPR brand. Organizational and collaborative skills, as well as an ability to prioritize are a must.
  • Create compelling, UX-Focused (User Experience) content related to San Diego High School football news, events, and topics relevant to the local audience and beyond. This includes text stories, photos/graphics, breaking news stories, and social media elements.
