The Fresno Bee is looking for a dynamic and creative sports reporter with outstanding writing and multimedia skills to cover Fresno State athletics, primarily the football and men's basketball beats. Candidates must have tenacious reporting skills and a clear writing style that translates to both print and web publishing. They must be able to juggle a fast-paced news environment, develop strong sources within the beat and be a team player who can handle any kind of general assignment. Candidates will be expected to cover non-sports developments on the beat, such as the university’s annual athletic budget, fundraising and courts. In addition, candidates should illustrate an ability to regularly contribute enterprise stories that provide analysis and take readers beyond box scores and coach-speak. A big component of the job will be supplementing the print product with multi- and social media content and other outlets that foster reader interaction and immediate delivery of breaking news. Candidates should have experience, beyond college, covering Division I beats. This reporter also will be asked to contribute some night GA shifts and work weekends. Acceptable driving record required.
