Baseball America Career Opportunities
Assistant Editor
Baseball America seeks an assistant editor who is passionate about baseball and journalism. We started out as a humble baseball tabloid produced by an editorial staff of three way back in the early 1980s, and now we've grown into a full-service media company that's focused on the Web and multimedia as much as our print publication, which is now the only high-frequency, all-baseball publication around. In addition to our biweekly magazine, we do daily Web content, blogs and podcasts, as well as four annual baseball books and other special publications. In our spare time we talk about baseball—as well as other sports.
We remain a small company where achievement and ideas are recognized and rewarded, and where people who don't give their all stick out like a sore thumb. What we're looking for in an assistant editor is someone with at least a couple of years of experience who is willing and able to write a blog post, edit an organization report, call a scout and type in the standings for the Can-Am League in the course of a day. As you get into the company, where you go will depend on your strengths and interests.
We are looking to fill this position immediately in our Durham, N.C., office. We offer full benefits and a great work environment. Please send resume and writing samples to Will Lingo at willlingo@baseballamerica.com or P.O. Box 12877, Durham, NC 27709.

This internship is unpaid. Help finding housing and transportation is available. The ideal candidate will posses excellent communication skills, be highly organized and a problem solver.
