Deputy Sports Editor

The Baltimore Banner is hiring a Deputy Sports Editor to help lead a team in creating sports news and analysis that resonates with readers and is worthy of subscribers. The editor will oversee content about the Baltimore Ravens, Baltimore Orioles, high school sports in the Baltimore area, the annual Preakness Stakes, and other local sports news and trends.

This position will report to the Sports Editor and work closely with our beat writers, columnists, freelance writers, and digital producers to generate high-value content. More than just game results and roster moves, we are looking for creative, fan-focused coverage that suits the modern ways people watch, discuss and enjoy sports.

We encourage candidates to present a strong vision for high-impact sports news and commentary — including off-the-field story angles, the business of our sports teams and leagues, insight from sports analytics, and how to tap into the Baltimore Banner’s capabilities for data visualization and social media. This is your chance to thrive in a primary sports media market and to be inventive and experimental.
