About The Position
NBC News Digital is hiring a versatile reporter to join its sports desk. The right candidate has a broad knowledge of various sports and Olympic games, is comfortable tackling major events on the calendar — such as the Super Bowl, NBA Draft and the World Series — and can write in various formats, including breaking news, live blogging, feature pieces and smart angles. The core audience is the casual sports fan. The reporter will need to explain big moments to people who are not die-hard fans and write about the intersection of sports and society and pop culture. The focus is on the major moments and athletes, explaining what is important and why. On any given day, the reporter may spend their entire shift live-blogging a playoff game. The next day might involve working on a piece about a star athlete in the news. The next day we may ask the reporter to partner with talent from NBC Sports, previewing an upcoming game of national interest. The hours will be when sports happens — from Thursday to Monday, afternoons and evenings. It’s preferred this person is based in New York City or Los Angeles, though fully remote employees will be considered. This position is represented by the News Guild - NY CWA.
