Job Description


O’Rourke Media Group is searching for a talented sports reporter to fill a full-time position in Colorado. This position would be remote, but we prefer the candidate live in Colorado.

This sports reporter would cover sports for several newspapers. Game attendance would not be required. Rather, we'd rely on this reporter to build relationships with coaches from multiple schools to be able to report remotely.

Our journalists are driven to find stories that matter to our community and are dedicated to fairness, accuracy, and ethics. The successful candidate for this position is someone who knows how to cover sports but also loves to write about coaches and players for feature stories during off-seasons.

The ideal candidate has exceptional writing skills and is willing to put in the extra effort and research to deliver an engaging story.

Preferred qualifications for this position include:

  • Degree or diploma in journalism, or a related field;
  • At least 1-3 years of experience as a sports reporter with experience covering feature stories or experience at a college newspaper;
  • The ability to meet tight deadlines and report the news as it happens;
  • The ability to post timely stories to our websites;
  • Superior language, writing and editing skills;
  • Able to work a variety of schedules, including evenings, nights and weekends;
  • Excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills;
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment;
  • Willingness to live in Colorado.


If this sounds like the perfect position for you, we would love to hear from you! To apply, please send your resume, letter of interest and relevant samples of your work to Chad Richardson, Vice President of News, crichardson@orourkemediagroup.com.

The salary range is $39,000 to $40,000/year depending on qualifications and experience.
