Sports Editor, Opelika-Auburn News The Opelika-Auburn News, a Lee Enterprises company, has a long history of producing some of the best sports reporting in the nation, as evidenced by numerous past national awards, including the Grand Slam title -- top-10 daily, Sunday special sections, and top-10 website -- and the advancement of former staffers to top-notch jobs on the national scene. We're in the heart of SEC country and cover Auburn University sports, as well as a vibrant prep sports scene that includes everything from D-I blue-chip recruits down to kids playing ball in little more than a hayfield. We need a sports editor who can edit copy well, knows what a good page looks like online and in print, smiles at the challenge of tight deadlines, can write with flair and ease for the reader, and can work with a small team in Sports, and hand-in-hand with the News team as needed (we often put big sports stories from Auburn on 1A). This is not a job for a rookie; you must have experience and can show a track record of success. We will, however, consider talented sportswriters looking to make the next move. | |
