Sports Reporter Wanted at Norrköpings Tidningar

Be part of writing Norrköping's biggest sports stories. We are now looking for a sports reporter for a longer temporary position!

After falling from the Allsvenskan, IFK Norrköping aims to find new footing in Superettan during 2026, while playoffs in both ice hockey and basketball await in the spring. Do you want to work in a dynamic sports city with crises, setbacks, comebacks, and successes? Do you want to cover what happens on the field, but also explain why it matters?

If so, you might be the one we are looking for. Norrköpings Tidningar is now seeking a sports reporter for a longer temporary position from January to August 2026.

At NT, we cover Norrköping, Finspång, Söderköping, and Valdemarsvik, and our editorial team includes departments for sports, news, and investigative journalism. Together, we are first on the scene when things happen, explain why, and dig into what needs to be revealed.

About the Role

As a sports reporter at NT, you will work closely with events in Norrköping and the surrounding area. You will cover training sessions and matches, scrutinize the powers in sports, and tell the stories of the people behind the results.

Our sports editorial team consists of four reporters and a planning manager who together cover both the major teams and the lives behind the successes and youth initiatives on the way there. You will develop alongside skilled storytellers and experienced news reporters, as well as collaborate with the video manager.

The work has a clear digital focus where the reader is always at the center.

Your Responsibilities

• Writing news, interviews, and features.
• Covering and reporting from training sessions and matches.
• Working with live reporting, photography, and video material.
• Packaging content for the website and social media.
• Contributing your own ideas and independent news work.

We are looking for someone who can take responsibility and contribute directly to the daily work, but who also wants to develop as a sports journalist.

We Believe You:

• Have a journalism degree or equivalent experience.
• Have worked with sports journalism or have a strong interest in the field.
• Are curious, self-driven, and creative.
• Are stylistically confident and can easily build trust with new contacts.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment with evening and weekend work.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience or interest in covering basketball and/or ice hockey.
• Experience with podcast formats.
• Familiarity with digital storytelling on social media.

A valid driver's license is required as driving is part of the job.

We are a values-driven company that strives for equality and diversity.

Selection and interviews will be conducted continuously, and the position may be filled before the application deadline.
