The posting

College Sports Reporter The Oklahoman, the state's leading news organization, is hiring for a reporter to cover college athletics. This is a unique opportunity to cover top programs in the highly competitive Southeastern Conference at a time when the Oklahoma Sooners are competing for NCAA championships in multiple sports.    We are seeking an ambitious, fast, digitally minded reporter who is hungry to be first with the news and produces a substantial output of content. This reporter can go beyond game coverage to offer analysis and compelling journalism that will surprise readers and keep them coming back.    While football is a year-round priority, this reporter will also team with columnists and the OU beat writer to lead coverage of other sports — including basketball, baseball, softball and gymnastics as audience interest demand.   The successful candidate will be self-motivated and adept at growing an audience through great content, smart use of social media and multimedia and promoting their brand and work on TV, podcasts and live radio.    This is a stellar opportunity for someone with three to five years of sports reporting experience. The successful candidate, who will be based in the Oklahoma City metro area, must be able to meet tight deadlines and travel as needed.    Responsibilities:

Research, report and produce compelling content that informs and engages readers.  Provide thoughtful analysis of complex issues and situations.  Use video, photos and social media to spotlight breaking news and high-interest events.  Produce content in alternative forms (listicles, Q&As, narratives, photo galleries, podcasts, video — that are tailored to the right platform (mobile, desktop, social media) to best reach the audience.  Use real-time metrics to respond to user demand and reader interest. 

Requirements: 

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.   Three to five years of professional journalism experience.  High-level writing, communication and time management skills.  Demonstrated ability to work well on deadline and use multimedia to supplement their reach.  Demonstrated track record for keen news judgment, ethical decision-making and fair play.  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, please submit: 

Your resume – one to two pages. A cover letter that outlines how you would approach the job. Links to 3-6 online samples of your work. Show us what you’ve produced or had a hand in that best reflects what you can do in your desired role. 

Completing these steps will ensure that your application receives the highest consideration.   #Newsgnt #LI-NC1

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
