Features Writer
Lee Enterprises, Incorporated, Richmond, Virginia, United States, 23234
Experienced features writer
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is looking for a digitally focused journalist with experience writing features and character profiles, in addition to some knowledge of sports.
The position will focus on high school sports in Richmond and around central Virginia, but the content will go far beyond the box score, court or playing field. Our readers want to get to know who the athletes or coaches are as people, and what kind of lives they've lived to reach this point - not just their statistics.
You'll attend games, but you won't be writing game stories. You might want to take notes on how a coach navigates certain situations, or just take in the atmosphere of the student section in the bleachers. Your job won't be tracking points, rebounds and assists.
Basic photo and video skills will also be necessary.
This job is based in Richmond, but you'll have the opportunity to work with Lee newspapers in Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, and occasionally Roanoke and Lynchburg.
Richmond, Virginia's capital, is in the heart of a rapidly growing region located about 95 miles south of Washington D.C. It's also roughly two hours from the Atlantic Ocean if you're driving east, or just over two hours from the Blue Ridge Mountains if you're headed west. It's home to several universities and an exquisite restaurant scene.
