The Bakersfield Californian is seeking a creative and energetic sports page designer/copy editor. At least three years experience at a daily is preferred, but we will consider less qualified applicants with a proven skill level.
Deadline skills and being a team player are musts. Knowledge of Quark is a plus. The position requires a college degree, preferably in journalism. This newspaper serves a sports-heavy area, with 30-plus high schools, Cal State Bakersfield (D-I baseball/basketball), minor league baseball, basketball, hockey, two stock car tracks and high interest in outdoors (fishing/hunting). Position includes overseeing TV listings and posting stories/photos on web. Background check/drug testing required before hire.
