Sports Reporter, NBC News Digital, Universal City, CA

[Jon Chelesnik]

NBC News Digital is seeking a reporter to join its new sports desk.

The right candidate will be adept at writing about a wide variety of sports and can tackle the major events on the calendar (such as the Super Bowl, NBA Draft and Olympics). The person should embrace live blogging and breaking news coverage.

The reporter will also need to explain big moments to non-sports fans and write about the intersection of sports and society and pop culture.

We’re not looking for a beat reporter who will write game stories or someone who will write incremental player transaction news that is better found on social media. We want sports coverage that resonates with a general news audience and explains what is important and what is in the public consciousness.

The set hours will be when sports happens — afternoon and evening hours from Thursday-Monday. It’s preferred if this person is based in New York City or Los Angeles, though fully remote employees will be considered.

This position is represented by the News Guild - NY CWA.

Please indicate in your cover letter you learned of this opportunity through Sportscasters Talent Agency of America.
