Job description

Strengthening and empowering all of the communities we serve.

NJ.comis seeking a dynamic and versatile reporter to join our award-winning high school sports staff as a High School Sports Insider.

In this newly created role, you will become the go-to voice for breaking news, rumors, and coaching and roster movement across New Jersey high school sports - working closely with our editors and team of reporters and freelancers to cover the biggest stories in the state. Think of this as a well-connected power broker of New Jersey high school sports: a must-follow presence whose posts are an automatic click, built around a dedicated social feed where breaking news is funneled complete with "SIGNED" and "BREAKING NEWS" treatment.

We're looking for someone with experience working in a fast-paced newsroom who is self-motivated but also open to collaboration. The ideal candidate will be well-versed in leveraging contacts and sources to break news that reaches thousands of readers, with an instinct for finding the next big story before anyone else does - whether that's an 8th-grade football prospect closing in on a decision, a powerhouse coach mulling retirement, or the NJSIAA weighing a major rule change.

The base salary range for this role is $65,000-$75,000 annually.

This role will require reliable transportation to meet with sources and cover events, and will include night and weekend hours.

What you'll be doing:
  • Serve as the go-to voice for the biggest breaking news in New Jersey high school sports.
  • Break news regularly on player, coach and school movement - transfers, hirings, firings and controversies.
  • Build and maintain a dedicated social presence where all staff breaking news is funneled, packaged for maximum reach.
  • Develop sources and contacts across every corner of the state that distinguish your coverage from the competition.
  • Cover the NJSIAA, the state's governing body for high school sports, and its impact on rules and eligibility.
  • Produce both quick-hit news items and longer, detailed feature and enterprise stories.
  • Work collaboratively with our award-winning high school sports staff.
  • Engage with our audiences, as needed, on social media platforms.
Our ideal candidate has the following:
  • Bachelor's degree in journalism, communications, or a related field or an equivalent combination of education and experience
  • A minimum of 3 years of relevant experience
  • A self-starter with experience working in a fast-paced newsroom.
  • A dogged, hard-working reporter with a proven ability to break news.
  • Deep familiarity with the New Jersey high school sports landscape.
  • A degree in journalism or communications, or equivalent education and work experience.
  • An ability to leverage relationships with sources to deliver high-quality, high-impact journalism.
  • An ability to work remotely and independently under tight deadlines.
  • A team player with a proven track record in uncovering news.
