About the Role

The Athletic is looking for a motivated, savvy reporter to cover women’s basketball on a national scale. This role is suited for someone who aims to be an authoritative voice on the sport and is relentless in the pursuit of breaking news in the WNBA, women’s college basketball and throughout the rest of the sport. The reporter should be a coachable self-starter who understands how to elevate familiar topics in the sport into substantive and compelling articles that differentiate our coverage. This person will also drive engaging and thoughtful discussion  as a part of our quickly growing women’s basketball podcast.
