Job Description

The Detroit News , part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, is seeking a hard-working and energetic sports reporter to lead our vast high school sports coverage in the Metro Detroit area and throughout the state of Michigan. We are seeking a dynamic reporter who is digitally savvy and committed to leading the conversation in a highly competitive market. The ideal candidate will use reporting skills to find and tell compelling human-interest stories and identify interesting trends for enterprise stories that go beyond what happened on the basketball court or baseball field.

• Have a knack for SEO-driven headlines and other audience-driving strategies.
• Be nimble and able to adjust swiftly to shifting news demands.


Requirements:
• Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Commitment to detail, accuracy and fairness.
• Ability to multitask and excel under deadline pressure, using time efficiently.
• This role requires a valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and the minimum liability insurance required by state law.


Application Instructions


We are eager to learn more about you and how you fit this role. When you apply, don't limit your upload to a resume; show us what you've done. To do so, put together a single document file that includes the following, in this order:
1. Your resume - one to two pages.
2. A cover letter that outlines how you would approach the job.
