What we are looking for
We are interested in people who can strengthen coverage of UNLV football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, hockey and recruiting, as well as photographers, video creators and contributors who can use data without losing the story. Experience helps, but the work itself matters more than a résumé line.
Roles

What strong work looks like
Strong contributors report before they assume, know the difference between a fact and a projection, can explain why a detail matters and are willing to correct the work when the reporting changes. We value clean sourcing, curiosity, reliability and a real interest in UNLV athletics.

Common questions
Do I need professional newsroom experience?
No. Experience matters, but the quality of the work, reliability and ability to report accurately matter more than a specific job title.
Can I apply for photography, video or analytics instead of writing?
Yes. The application is built for contributors across reporting, photography, video and data work.
Should I send every sample I have?
No. Send the strongest work that best represents what you want to contribute.
