The North Olympic Peninsula of Washington state has it all for the sports and outdoors writer—the Olympic Mountains, river and saltwater fishing for salmon, steelhead and huge Dungeness crab, alpine hiking, hunting, skiing and snow play in Olympic National Park at Port Angeles’ doorstep—and prep teams that include a newly crowned state football champion and the Northwest’s community college soccer powerhouse.

So this position with the Peninsula Daily News is an ideal opportunity for an up-and-coming writer who enjoys it all. Not only does this position include sports reporting but an outdoors column twice a week and some page designing, pagination and sports wire responsibilities alongside the sports editor.

Peninsula Daily News is a community-minded, family-focused six-day newspaper (15,862 Monday through Friday; 17,572 Sunday) and Web enterprise (more than 1 million page views monthly) that is the dominant news and advertising provider for the two-county North Olympic Peninsula. Port Angeles gets half the rainfall of Seattle, is just a 90-minute ferry ride from Victoria, British Columbia, and enjoys a North Olympic Peninsula fan base that also follows Seattle-area professional and university teams.

This position is in our main newsroom in Port Angeles, although there is plenty of opportunity to get out and about in Port Townsend, Sequim, Forks and environs. This is essentially a daytime position with evening work on game nights in a Tuesday through Saturday shift.  Full-time position.  Because an in-person visit is required, applicants from the Northwest and West are preferred.

We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package as the daily newspaper of Washington state’s largest newspaper group, Sound Publishing Inc. (http://www.soundpublishing.com).

The successful candidate will show good writing skills in both reporting and sports column-writing styles, some knowledge of page design, headline writing and InDesign pagination and be personable since this is one of our newsroom’s top public contact positions. Knowledge of football, baseball, basketball and soccer are essential.

Please email resume with a detailed cover letter addressing how you fit our above requirements, plus samples of your writing and page layouts (PDFs preferred for layouts, simple text for writing) to Sports Editor Brad LaBrie at brad.labrie@peninsuladailynews.com. Our mailing address is Peninsula Daily News, P.O. Box 1330, Port Angeles, WA 98362. (Street address: 305 W. First St.)
