Iowa Hawkeyes Women's Basketball and Football Reporter

The Des Moines Register, Iowa’s leading news organization, is hiring for an Iowa City-based University of Iowa women’s basketball/football/GA reporter. This is a unique opportunity to cover top programs in the highly competitive Big Ten Conference at a time when Hawkeye sports are on the rise. 

We are seeking an ambitious, fast, digitally minded reporter who is hungry to be first with the news and produces a substantial output of content. This reporter can go beyond game coverage to offer analysis and compelling journalism that will surprise readers and keep them coming back. 

While women’s basketball will be this reporter’s primary beat, particularly during the winter sports season, this reporter will work closely with and supplement the work of the Hawkeyes columnist and Hawkeyes football reporter.  

The reporter also will provide coverage of professional women’s basketball, particularly Hawkeye alums in the WNBA. Additionally, the reporter will help facilitate video, podcast and social-media logistics and will produce trending and general assignment content, particularly during spring and summer.  

The successful candidate will be self-motivated and adept at growing audience through great content, smart use of social media and multimedia and promoting their brand and work on TV, podcasts and live radio.

  • Winter: women’s basketball 80%, trending/video/podcasts/GA 20% 
  • Spring/summer: women's basketball 40%, trending/video/podcasts 40%, GA 20% 

Responsibilities:

  • Research, report and produce compelling content that informs and engages readers. 
  • Provide thoughtful analysis of complex issues and situations. 
  • Use video, photos and social media to spotlight breaking news and high-interest events. 
  • Produce content in alternative forms (listicles, Q&As, narratives, photo galleries, podcasts, video — that are tailored to the right platform (mobile, desktop, social media) to best reach the audience. 
  • Use real-time metrics to respond to user demand and reader interest. 

Requirements: 

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.  
  • Three to five years of professional journalism experience. 
  • High-level writing, communication and time management skills. 
  • Demonstrated ability to work well on deadline and use multimedia to supplement their reach. 
  • Demonstrated track record for keen news judgment, ethical decision-making and fair play. 
  • This role requires a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and the minimum liability insurance required by state law.
