The go-to sports website in Montana is seeking an ambitious and enterprising reporter to cover western Montana high schools, primarily in the Bitterroot Valley, and support coverage of University of Montana athletics.
This is a new full-time position that will work out of The Missoulian and Ravalli Republic newsrooms. The ideal candidate will be a jack-of-all-trades, writing features, covering games, building relationships, and helping to manage print page production.

In addition to skiing, mountain biking, hiking, trail running and river-floating, Missoula has a rich arts and entertainment scene, a bustling downtown with a variety of restaurants, bars and breweries. Hand-picked to film many of the outdoor scenes in the popular television show "Yellowstone," the Missoula and Bitterroot valleys are less than three hours from Glacier and Yellowstone national parks.
