Part-time reporters sought

The Times is seeking part-time sports reporters to assist in our coverage of the upcoming high school football season.

Aspiring journalism students or those with a background in the field are preferred, but we are willing to train capable candidates.

The ability to produce lively, full-length stories under a tight deadline is a must, as is ability to keep comprehensive stats.

Familiarity with AP style is a plus.
