Sports Multimedia Journalist (MMJ)
Full-time
Job Description
Sports Multimedia Journalist (MMJ) - WSYX /WTTE | Columbus, Ohio Sports are woven into the fabric of Central Ohio. From Ohio State Athletics to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Columbus Crew, Clippers baseball, championship high school programs, and the future home of a professional women's soccer club, there is no shortage of games to cover. But at WSYX , we believe the most meaningful sports stories often happen away from the scoreboard. We're looking for a Sports Multimedia Journalist who understands the X's and O's but is equally passionate about telling stories that reveal the impact sports have on our communities. Whether it's a Friday night football coach changing lives, a young athlete overcoming adversity, the business behind a new stadium, or the issues shaping youth sports, you'll look beyond highlights to find stories that matter. Just as importantly, you'll embrace the reality that sports journalism no longer happens on a single platform or on a scheduled sportscast. Our audience expects updates in real time. That means you'll be comfortable breaking news on social media, publishing to digital first, reporting live for streaming and television, and creating compelling content wherever our viewers are. You'll think beyond deadlines and embrace a continuous, multi-platform approach to storytelling. If you're excited about redefining sports journalism in one of America's best sports cities, we'd love to hear from you. What You'll Do
- Enterprise original stories that connect sports to the people and issues shaping Central Ohio.
- Cover professional, collegiate, high school, and community sports with urgency and creativity.
- Break sports news across digital, social, streaming, and broadcast platforms in real time.
- Shoot, write, edit, and present compelling stories as a true multimedia journalist.
- Deliver engaging live coverage from games, press conferences, breaking news, and community events.
- Build relationships with athletes, coaches, organizations, and community leaders to develop exclusive story ideas.
- Collaborate with newsroom leadership to identify stories where sports intersect with education, business, public safety, health, politics, and culture.
- Produce compelling content that serves audiences wherever they choose to consume news.
- A journalist first, and a sports storyteller always.
- Strong understanding of sports strategy and the ability to explain the game with clarity and context.
- A passion for finding stories others miss.
- Experience shooting, writing, editing, and reporting independently.
- A digital-first mindset with experience publishing to web, social, streaming, and broadcast platforms.
- Strong live reporting skills and the ability to react quickly when news breaks.
- Excellent news judgment, curiosity, and storytelling ability.
- A collaborative teammate who thrives in a fast-paced newsroom.
- Sharp sports news judgment
- The ability to tell an NPPA style story
- Excellent technical skills
- The ability to work well independently and with others
- Must have and maintain a valid license and a good driving record
- A minimum of 5 years of sports reporting experience is required
- Experience with live shots is required
- Experience with Live-U is a plus
