The Oklahoman, the state's leading news organization, is hiring for a reporter to cover Oklahoma State University athletics. This is a unique opportunity to cover top programs in the highly competitive Big 12 Conference at a time when the Cowboys and Cowgirls are on the rise.
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 will go beyond game coverage to offer analysis and compelling stories and video that will surprise readers and keep them coming back.
While football will be this reporter’s primary beat, this reporter will also team with columnists on coverage of other sports, including basketball, baseball, softball and wrestling as audience interests 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 either Stillwater or Oklahoma City, 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.
