Penn State Football Reporter

PennLive — Pennsylvania’s most‑read local news site for six consecutive years — is looking for a driven, relentless reporter to own the Penn State football beat.

This is a highly competitive, high‑profile assignment.

The right candidate will have the instincts and ambition to break through a crowded landscape, consistently scoop the competition, and deliver coverage that sets the agenda.

What you’ll do:

  • Break news aggressively and follow it with smart, authoritative reporting that explains what it means — and what’s coming next.
  • Cover Penn State football with a major emphasis on recruiting, the transfer portal, NIL, roster building and long‑term program strategy.
  • Move with urgency across platforms, delivering timely reporting for readers, viewers and listeners.
  • Go beyond game results to answer the questions fans care about most: future personnel decisions, coaching strategy, program direction and the business forces shaping college football.
  • Produce content in multiple formats, including stories, video and podcasts.

The base salary range is $55,000 to $65,000 per year.

What we’re looking for:

  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications, or a related field or equivalent experience
  • A minimum of three years of journalism experience with a proven ability in reporting and writing.
  • Proven ability to source, report and break news on a fast‑moving beat.
  • Strong news judgment and the competitive drive to win stories.
  • Comfort working across written, visual and audio platforms.
  • A knack for identifying and executing enterprise stories — especially those that explore the business, governance and the power dynamics of college sports.

This job requires reliable transportation to meet sources and cover breaking news in the field.

If you thrive on competition, live for exclusives, and can help readers, viewers and listeners understand not just what’s happening, but why it matters, this job is for you.
