  • Strong organizational and time-management abilities
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities under deadline
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office and digital publishing platforms
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

Preferred
  • Newspaper newsroom experience
  • Sports reporting experience
  • Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Photoshop)
  • Photography and basic video production
  • Familiarity with BLOX CMS

  • Analytics platforms
  • Knowledge of northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas sports

Excellent verbal, written and analytical skills are a must, along with a strong motivation and work ethic, and an essential team player.
