Job Description

The Bozeman Daily Chronicle, the go-to source for news and sports information in picturesque southwest Montana, is seeking a reporter to cover Montana State University athletics and a wide variety of other sports in region known for our exceptional quality of life.

Our new sports staffer will have a wide-open canvas to report on everything from the national-champion Bobcats football team and high school sports to trail runs, skiing and mountain bike racing. You’ll cover events but also produce enterprise content and write features about our fascinating athletes and the people who support them.

If you love the outdoors, this is indeed the Last Best Place. We strive for work-life balance that opens your backdoor to a lifetime of adventures and reinvigorates you for work. We are less than 90 minutes from the wild wonders of Yellowstone, a short drive to skiing at Bridger Bowl and Big Sky, and a fly cast away from some of the world’s great blue-ribbon trout streams.

Bozeman is a vibrant, active and family-friendly community with wide-ranging cultural experiences. And if you’re looking for the solitude of a quintessential Montana experience, our mountains, rivers and wide-open spaces are mere minutes away.

As a sports reporter, you’ll work with a sports editor and also partner with the statewide 406 MT Sports team. Much of your work will also appear in our sister paper the Belgrade News, which covers the neighboring communities of Belgrade, Manhattan, Churchill and Three Forks. We are a digital-first newsroom while also producing five print editions per week plus a sixth E-edition.

The Chronicle, a flagship paper in the expanding Adams MultiMedia family, offers a competitive salary based on experience, a comprehensive health plan, paid time off and 401k.

Send your cover letter, resume, links to clips and all other relevant information to Sports Editor Dan Chesnet at [email protected].

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
