Description: The award-winning Idaho Statesman sports department covers Boise State athletics better than anyone — and now we want to take that coverage to another level by adding a veteran reporter who is multi-dimensional and a 21st century thinker to our tight family of reporters and editors. The state paper of Idaho — located in one of the most livable cities in the United States — is hiring a self-motivated reporter to be the lead Boise State basketball writer and secondary Boise State football writer. Basketball responsibilities include complete beat coverage, including breaking news, online news/digital/social media, enterprise/watchdog reporting, player features, game advances, game coverage, regular blogging during the season and one college basketball column a week during the season. The Idaho Statesman college basketball reporter/writer must be a local, regional and national Division I expert. The successful candidate must have a proven track record of elevating a priority beat to a high level of community relevance, and must be highly competent in growing the audience through story-telling, curation of content and online/digital/social media skills.Strong reporting, a sense of urgency and compelling, alternative presentation ideas are a must. Some travel required. The deadline to apply is July 20. Send short cover letter, resume and clips to Sports Editor Mike Prater at mprater@idahostatesman.com.
