Advance Media New York is looking for a sports reporter to join our team covering the Syracuse University football team for Syracuse.com and The Post-Standard. We're looking for someone who can break news, develop sources and isn't afraid to ask the tough questions.

 

This opportunity includes gameday coverage, recruiting updates, post-game analysis and enterprise reporting of a resurgent ACC program. The reporter would travel to all road games.

The reporter is critical to our organizational success and is charged with covering news for the area's leading news website. This is a fast-paced beat in a dynamic, engaged community.

 

The right candidate understands the importance of breaking news quickly and accurately, is versatile, and can add depth and a human perspective to news stories. Candidates should also be able to balance day-to-day news coverage with longer-term enterprise projects.

 

With your application, please include a cover letter, telling us why you’d be a good fit for this position.
