The Seattle Times, a family-owned news organization and one of the nation’s premier regional news sources, is hiring a Sports Columnist to join our Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom. This individual will be a leading voice and help drive coverage in one of the nation’s most competitive sports markets.
This position helps frame community conversation around the Seahawks, Mariners, Storm, Kraken, OL Reign, Sounders, UW Huskies and other sports teams (likely including an NBA team in the coming years) while building reader loyalty through thorough reporting and lively and authoritative writing. You’ll write three opinion pieces per week – analyzing and critiquing teams, players and front-office/administration strategies – and you’ll produce occasional longer-form enterprise stories. The Sports Columnist reports to the Sports Editor.
