Job Description

The Villages Daily Sun, Florida’s largest daily printed newspaper (and the only newspaper in America's largest 25 that is still growing), is seeking a sports journalist to help lay out our award-winning sports section. We’re looking for a sports designer with experience making smart content decisions under deadline pressure — someone who is comfortable working with both wire and local sports content. We have a robust sports section that includes national roundups of all major sports (in particular, knowledge of professional golf is helpful) as well as coverage of The Villages recreation and local high school sporting events. We offer a generous newshole, impeccable print quality, modern tech resources (fully Mac and Creative Suite shop) and leadership support that enable good visual journalists to become truly great. We're a print-centric market with a brand new printing plant, the first to be built in America in the last decade. This means we still enjoy late publication deadlines for sporting events in all time zones. It also means you can focus on strong visual storytelling without a digital distraction, and that you can experience the joy of creative collaboration in the newsroom instead of the vacuum of remote workflow. We’re a 90-mile drive to the beach, Orlando’s theme parks and the historic neighborhoods of Gainesville and St. Augustine. We offer competitive pay, excellent benefits and access to a highly regarded charter school system in one of the state’s most idyllic settings. Apply by filling out the basic application for the “production editor” position at the link below.
