  The Record Searchlight, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, is seeking an energetic and passionate reporter to join our sports team to create impactful stories in and around Redding, California, an area that is fully invested in high school athletics. The Record Searchlight is the area's leading voice on high school sports, and this reporter will help maintain that position.

  While the biggest games are still important, our readers have demanded meaningful coverage of sports on and off the field, and we need a reporter who can hunt down those stories.That includes breaking news, well-sourced enterprise, updates on teams and athletes, and content that digs in, like the rigors of student-athlete life, coach pay, team travel and recruiting college athletes from a small area.

  Redding is located in Northern California and has a population of around 95,000. It is four hours north of San Francisco and less than three hours away from Sacramento - for fans of professional football, this is 49ers territory. The city has plenty of restaurants and shopping centers, not to mention numerous hiking trails with gorgeous views. Temperatures throughout the year range from hot summers to cooler, wet winters.

Work toward becoming the community's leading voice of expertise in high school sports. Connect with the community through storytelling and outreach (social media, on camera, forums, community leadership, etc.). Provide thoughtful analysis of complex issues. Work with editor and content strategist to evaluate what's working and what's not and develop ongoing plans to satisfy audience needs. Collaborate to provide appropriate elements for stories (i.e. photos, videos and graphics). Capture basic photos and video as needed. Promote personal brand, the brands of colleagues and the institutional brand. Provide great customer service, helping readers find answers and solutions. Requirements: Bachelor's or master's degree in communications, journalism or related field preferred or equivalent combination of education and experience. Previous reporting experiencepreferred; even better if you've covered sports. Proficiency on social media platforms; including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Reddit. Experience shooting and editing photos and video on a mobile device. Strong communication skills, news judgement and headline-writing ability. Ability to multitask and excel under intense deadline pressure. Ability to work collaboratively and efficiently. Strong writing, spelling and grammar skills; familiarity with AP style. Ability to work some nights and weekends. Comfort building a beat and communicating with athletes and coaches. This role requires a valid driver's license, reliable transportation and the minimum liability insurance required by state law. Employment is contingent on passing a post-offer pre-employment background check, motor vehicle record check & drug screen. Application Instructions:
