The Denver Gazette is looking for a hungry, high-powered sports reporter to cover the Colorado Rockies. This reporter is expected to break news and provide exclusive content and analysis in a competitive environment. The reporter will need to develop strong professional relationships with players, coaches, team management and other sources.
This reporter must be able to find and break news, cover breaking news with urgency and develop compelling enterprise and analysis. The reporter will write about games and the day-to-day activities of the team, as well as produce features and notebooks. But we’re looking for a candidate who can take us to the next level of coverage with off-day stories, enterprise reporting, weekly podcasts with our digital team and digital sports editor, regular radio work, an extensive social media presence and thoughtful profiles on the team. We’re looking for a reporter who can add value to what Rockies fans who watch the games already know. That means seeking out stories other media outlets don’t have.
Originality and work ethic are two of the characteristics we prize the most in our sports correspondents. The reporter will also work with others on staff to produce compelling video and alternative story formats to engage readers.
