Description:
The Cortez Journal seeks a sports editor to cover high
school and rec-league sports, outdoor recreation, rodeos
and other Southwest Colorado sports-related activities.
The Journal is a family-owned, 3x/week, 7,000-circulation
community newspaper. The publication has received awards
for general excellence from the Associated Press and Colorado
Press Association, in addition to press association awards
for sports stories, columns and photos. The Journal redesigned
its Web site in 2008 and publishes a Monday-through-Saturday
online edition. The sports editor must be able to meet
daily deadlines and should have a desire to work with
online content. Frequent and positive reader interaction
is a must. The successful applicant will have a degree
in journalism or related field and a proven ability to
cover sports. Southwest Colorado, where Cortez is located,
ranges from high desert country to San Juan Mountain peaks
rising more than 14,000 feet. Residents here enjoy hiking,
mountain biking, four-wheeling, camping, fly fishing,
hunting, skiing, kayaking, river rafting and other activities.
Mesa Verde National Park is next door, and southern Utah’s
canyon country is a short drive away. The Journal offers
a full benefit package, including medical/dental/vision
and life insurance, paid time off and 401k plan with a
generous company match. We work in a spacious building
close to the city recreation center. The newsroom staff
is congenial and informal. The Journal is an equal-opportunity
employer. The publication offers a drug-free workplace,
and drug screening is mandatory for new employees. E-mail
a cover letter, resume, clips and references.
