Job summary: Minnesota Vikings beat reporter

We are seeking a thorough, resourceful reporter and strong writer who is committed to breaking news, storytelling, and producing best-in-class coverage of the Minnesota Vikings.

This is one of the most widely read and relentless beats at the Star Tribune. Applicants for this position must have proven news instincts and the ability to report and write breaking news and newsy updates on a team. The person in this role must develop sources both within the team and among the people who interact with it.

The reporter will cover games, news conferences, open locker rooms and other access moments during the season. This person will be one of the main news reporters on the Vikings beat, often asked to carry a main story.

In the offseason, free agency, the NFL draft and minicamps will be among the high priorities. This reporter needs to know what our audience wants to know. This reporter will analyze and deliver what-this-means reports off the news. And this reporter must have a desire and a commitment to be an excellent teammate, working with positive energy alongside multiple partners on the beat, columnists and others who write about the team and editors in Sports and beyond who direct this coverage. Collaboration skills are a must. Excellent reporting, writing, and organizational skills are also essential, as is experience covering a team.

You will:

  • Write for all our news platforms, from newsletters to Startribune.com to the newspaper.
  • Commit to employing audience strategies based on real-time metrics and strategic analysis and be willing to work collaboratively with colleagues on this team and across the newsroom.
  • Collaborate with your editors and other news leaders to determine daily, weekly and ongoing coverage strategies across multiple platforms.
  • Be enterprising and entrepreneurial. Our readers most value news and insightful reporting they are not seeing
  • Leverage other mediums, such as audio and video and the camera on your cell phone, to reach wide audiences.
  • Collaborate with your editors and members of the Audience team to build avenues for engagement and amplification of your work and the Star Tribune.
  • Work regularly from the Star Tribune's downtown headquarters.

You have:

  • A bachelor's degree in journalism or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and work-related experience.
  • A portfolio of published work demonstrating solid news judgment, deep reporting, engaging writing and comfort with a broad range of topics.
  • A commitment to serving our digital audience through different story forms and storytelling approaches.
  • An ability to connect with sources and subjects from diverse backgrounds and include overlooked or ignored viewpoints.
  • High standards and a commitment to fairness and accuracy.
  • The ability to multitask and juggle priorities on deadline - and then meet them.
  • A commitment to the Star Tribune's standards, mission, vision and values, including journalism that reflects the diversity of Minnesota and the Star Tribune's audience.

To apply:

Please upload a resume, beat memo describing how you would approach the job, and at least a half dozen story ideas.
