Job description

The Idaho Mountain Express, the state’s largest non-daily newspaper, is seeking a full-time sports reporter. We need an organized, lively, error-free writer with a passion for telling the stories of Wood River Valley sports and athletes. The candidate must be able to take charge of all content on sports pages, collect sports calendar items, organize a Local Life section and be web savvy. Weird hours, including weekends. Must be organized, meticulous, self-starter. B.A. plus one year newspaper experience preferred although new grads with strong college experience and solid internship will be considered.

This is a great community-journalism job in the beautiful resort community of Sun Valley, Idaho, one of the most beautiful places in the nation. If you're a strong self-starter serious about good journalism and like the idea of living in a great area where people can hike, bike or ski on a morning off and can experience a world-class performance in the evening, then you may be a good match for this job.

The Express—recognized by the National Newspaper Association as one of the top large, non-daily newspapers in the country—has a strong tradition of providing award-winning news, sports and arts coverage. The twice-weekly newspaper has been honored numerous times by the Idaho Press Club as the best non-daily in the state and by the National Newspaper Association as one of the best non-dailies in the nation.

Candidates must have strong interest in local sports and mountain recreation, the inclination to dig for information, an ability to write clean, accurate copy, and a solid understanding of AP style. The position requires strong organizational skills and efficiency while working on tight deadlines.

Benefits include full health, dental and vision insurance, earned paid sick leave, paid vacation within the first year of employment, seven paid holidays and access to shared ski pass. Flexible schedule includes in-office and remote work combo.

Please note that the Sun Valley area is experiencing a housing shortage, but the newspaper offers a $1,100/month rental of a one-bedroom efficiency garage apartment for one person in Hailey, Idaho, a 15-20 minute drive from the newspaper office. The rent includes utilities including electricity, cable, internet, satellite TV, garbage and snow removal except for an exterior stairway to the apartment.
