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).

  • 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.
