NBC News Digital is seeking an experienced sports editor and reporter for a temporary position that lasts approximately six months. This hybrid role will provide coverage and support for the NFL playoffs, the Olympics and Paralympics, the Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Game, March Madness and the World Cup.
The right candidate has a broad and general knowledge of various sports and Olympic games, is comfortable tackling major events and can write and edit in various formats, including breaking news, live blogging and smart angles.
The core audience is the casual sports fan. The person will need to explain big moments to people who are not die-hards and write about the intersection of sports and society and pop culture.
On any given day, the person may spend their entire shift live blogging an NFL playoff game. The next day might involve editing a quick-turn profile about a star athlete in the news. The next day we may ask the person to write breaking news.
The hours will be when sports happens — from Thursday to Monday, afternoons and evenings. It’s preferred if this person is based in New York City or Los Angeles, though fully remote employees will be considered.
This position is represented by the NewsGuild-CWA.
This is a temporary assignment from January 2026 through mid-July 2026 and can be remote or based in our headquarters in New York or Los Angeles.
Responsibilities:
• Launch and manage live blogs.
* Quickly and accurately writing major breaking news.
• Planning for the big events on the sports calendar.
• Pitching engaging and unique stories for a general news audience.
• Being interested in what people are curious about in the sports world, and serving those readers.
* Assign and edit stories on major sports news of the day.
• Writing clean, fast and accurate copy.
• Communicating with a team of other reporters editors across disciplines.
• Collaborating with NBC Sports’ writers and talent, which may include rewriting.
• Making full use of the range of NBC News resources, including network newsgathering and multimedia.
• Expertise in writing SEO headlines and explainers.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent years of relevant work experience.
• Must have the desire to work in a creative, demanding, competitive environment.
