Sports reporter/photographer REF#: JG8546 Prince Albert Daily Herald Location: Prince Albert, Saskatchewan Posted: April 11, 2011 Deadline: April 22, 2011 Salary: Description The Prince Albert Daily Herald, a daily newspaper based in central Saskatchewan, seeks a sports reporter.

The successful candidate will help tell the tale of a vibrant sports community, including, at times, coverage of the WHL Prince Albert Raiders. The wide variety of sports pursued in Prince Albert demands the ability to write about everything from basketball to chuckwagon races and poker, so the better you are at covering diverse sports with a variety of story forms, the better your chances of landing this position.

Qualifications The successful applicant will also be asked to capture images as well, so proven photography skills should be considered essential. Applicants must have a valid driver’s licence, and although the Herald provides its reporters with access to a company car, applicants should either have access to a reliable vehicle or obtain a reliable vehicle once they arrive in Prince Albert. This position is ideal for a recent graduate, or a community newspaper reporter eager to learn the fundamentals of a daily news environment.

We will also consider a student at a Canadian journalism school looking for a summer job but is returning to studies in September. Sports reporters with more experience will be considered. In addition to salary, we’ll offer a robust benefits package that includes extended dental and medical coverage, a computer purchase plan and more. The Herald’s reporters use iMacs or G5 computers with flat panel displays. We also have Nikon digital SLRs, some point-and-shoot cameras and two digital video cameras. Deadline for applications is 5 p.m. April 22, 2011.

If this sounds like a career path you’d like to pursue, please submit a resume, cover letter, references, no more than three samples of your writing and no more than five samples of your photography by email. It is also acceptable to send the resume, cover letter and references by email along with a link to an online portfolio of your work. All of the writing and some of the photos must have been published while at a journalism job or a student newspaper. Send your application, stating you found this on Jeff Gaulin’s website, to: Barry Glass, Managing Editor Email: bglass@paherald.sk.ca Prince Albert Daily Herald http://www.facebook.com/l/1ba622H5uTvf9qKNo5KZfUaBGnA/www.paherald.sk.ca
