Sports Reporter

The Daily Hampshire Gazette is seeking a full-time sports reporter to be part of a hard-working team focused on covering the local sports scene of Hampshire County. Our focus is primarily on community sporting events, with our area high schools at the forefront, as well as the various local colleges and universities, headlined by the University of Massachusetts — a Division 1 institution. The sports reporter will be expected to write game stories and regular features covering a wide variety of subjects. We're looking for creativity and a reporter who will be bold pitching original story ideas and producing compelling articles that matter to readers. This is a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment requiring strong multi-tasking skills. Experience with photography and video is a plus.
