The Daily Sentinel, a 30,000-circulation daily newspaper in Grand Junction, Colo., has an opening for a sports reporter.

The primary responsibility is covering our four local high schools, plus those in our surrounding circulation area. We’re looking for a reporter who goes beyond game coverage, one who will be out in front of news stories on the beat and will contribute regular enterprise reporting and web projects.

A college degree is required and minimum of 5 years’ experience covering sports is preferred. We offer competitive salary and benefits package and the chance to live and work in western Colorado, where outdoor recreation opportunities are right outside the door, including skiing, whitewater rafting, great fishing, hiking, mountain biking and more.
