This is a 40-hour-a-week position shooting the full range of assignments: professional & high school sports, features, news and portraits. Most of all, we need an enterprising storyteller who loves spending time out in the community finding interesting people, places and situations.

– Command of AP style, and the ability to produce content copy that is clean, accurate and publication ready
– Experience shooting, editing, and filing photographs and video on deadline
– Must have reliable transportation with valid driver’s license and vehicle insurance required
– As more of our content moves online, video is going to be of growing importance so multimedia and/or video experience is a must.

We offer benefits, including medical/vision/dental/life/long-term disability insurance, wellness and employee assistance programs, 401k with an employer match, and paid leave (vacation/sick).
