JOB DESCRIPTION
FOX Sports is seeking Ticker Copy Editors on a freelance basis who will be responsible for writing and editing headlines as well as updating content for FS1, FS2 and FOX Broadcasting Company (FBC).

The successful candidate will be able to make good decisions quickly while proving that they’re meticulous copy editors and fact checkers.
A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Ensuring all content in the Ticker is well-researched, logically structured, grammatically correct and follows the department’s editorial style
  • Monitoring the sports calendar and live events so that the Ticker always presents timely news, scores and relevant information to viewers
  • Checking headlines and text before publishing for any potential legal issues, such as libelous statements or breach of copyright
  • Writing and enabling alerts for breaking news, network programming changes and other significant sports updates
  • Newsgathering, fact-checking, headline writing and copy editing under intense minute-by-minute deadline conditions
  • Manage and schedule promotional graphics to appear in the Ticker at designated times throughout the day and week
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
  • 2-4 years of editorial experience required, preferably in the online or TV medium
  • Familiar working with Content Management Systems (CMS) and online publishing tools
  • Strong computer skills (Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook)
  • Proven sports knowledge
  • Strong critical thinking, news judgment, decision-making, planning, detail orientation and a sense of urgency are essential
  • Must be willing to work nights, weekends and holidays as needed
  • Must be well-versed using social media, internet and other internal sources (i.e. AP sports wire) for newsgathering and research purposes
  • Excellent communication (written and verbal) and organizational skills
NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER
  • Candidates living in the greater Los Angeles area are preferred, but remote candidates will be considered
  • BS/BA in Journalism, Communications, English or other related degree strongly preferred
Pursuant to state and local pay disclosure requirements, the pay range for this role, with final offer amount dependent on education, skills, experience, and location is: $25.00-30.00 per hour. We provide Freelancers medical/dental/vision insurance and 401k after they meet eligibility criteria and any State required time-off, in accordance with applicable plan documents.
