Lee Enterprises
Sports Editor, Opelika-Auburn News
The Opelika‑Auburn News, a Lee Enterprises company, has a long history of producing some of the best sports reporting in the nation, as evidenced by numerous past national awards, including the Grand Slam title – top‑10 daily, Sunday special sections, and top‑10 website – and the advancement of former staffers to top‑notch jobs on the national scene.
We’re in the heart of SEC country and cover Auburn University sports, as well as a vibrant prep sports scene that includes everything from D‑I blue‑chip recruits down to kids playing ball in little more than a hayfield.
We need a sports editor who can edit copy well, knows what a good page looks like online and in print, smiles at the challenge of tight deadlines, can write with flair and ease for the reader, and can work with a small team in Sports, and hand‑in‑hand with the News team as needed (we often put big sports stories from Auburn on 1A).
This is not a job for a rookie; you must have experience and can show a track record of success. We will, however, consider talented sportswriters looking to make the next move.
Why Join Us? Lee Enterprises offers competitive wages in a dynamic, interesting work environment with career growth opportunities. We offer an extensive benefit program that can be personalized to your needs. Our benefit program includes medical, dental, vision, short and long‑term disability, company‑provided life insurance and supplemental life insurance. In addition, we offer a 401K retirement plan with company match. We also offer generous paid time off to allow the flexibility to balance personal life and work. This includes paid parental leave for new parents.
Lee Enterprises is a major subscription and advertising platform and a leading provider of local news and information, with daily newspapers, rapidly growing digital products and nearly 350 weekly and specialty publications serving 72 markets in 25 states. Our core commitment is to provide valuable, intensely local news and information to the communities we serve.
Lee Enterprises is proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer. We are committed to attracting and retaining a workforce whose diversity reflects the communities we serve. Lee embraces change, and we recognize that we must create and maintain a culture of fervent inclusion. For more information about Lee, check us out at

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you are excited about this role but do not meet 100% of the qualifications above, we encourage you to apply.
