  • Cover high-interest entertainment topics, including Taylor Sheridan productions and other television, music, movies, theater, books, visual arts and cultural stories.
  • Use social media and audience signals to identify story ideas, understand what readers care about and participate in relevant cultural conversations.
  • Build strong digital stories using effective headlines, SEO, links, tags, multimedia and platform-appropriate presentation.
  • Collaborate with editors and newsroom colleagues to develop coverage that connects with digital audiences and reflects the breadth of Dallas’ arts and entertainment community.

What You’ll Bring

  • At least two years of daily reporting experience, preferably covering arts and entertainment.
  • A strong portfolio of clips demonstrating high-level reporting, writing and storytelling skills.
  • Excellent news judgment, accuracy, speed, curiosity and grammatical precision.
