This Is Nashville is the flagship daily show from WPLN News and Nashville Public Radio. Since our launch in March 2022, we have interviewed hundreds of people on wide-ranging topics, from Nashville nightlife to domestic violence. Our show is a journey into the identity of Nashville, and a lot of our work dives into our history and its significance to the city we know today.

We’ve taken listeners out into the field with us on a quest to find the purple martins, a night out at one of few remaining lesbian bars in the country, a celebration in Promise Land, Tennessee, and a hike to find a rare and extremely valuable ‘miracle plant.’

WPLN News is the newsroom of Nashville Public Radio, a community-licensed, nonprofit news outlet that strives to cover our region with context, courage and respect. Within the newsroom, our collaborative and diverse team works together to help every journalist realize their potential on the job, while also giving them space to live a full life outside of it.

• Community engagement. Building and maintaining new and meaningful source relationships is a must. We need to see a clear ability to do that.

With your top-notch writing skills and customer service focus, you’ll inform, inspire and entertain both our current members and prospective members of USA Fencing.

You’ll create and share compelling athlete profiles, top-tier event coverage and helpful explainers for the USA Fencing website and our social media channels. You’ll travel to USA Fencing events, delivering on-the-ground social and website coverage that will engage those who can’t be there themselves. Finally, you’ll share fencing stories through website updates and membership e-newsletters designed to provide transparency to our loyal members. You’ll report to the Director of Communications as part of an upbeat, fun communications team.

USA Fencing particularly encourages applications from diverse individuals with relevant experience as detailed below.

Primary Duties

●      Manage updates to the USA Fencing website, including staff contributions, page layout and design.

●      Deputize for, and collaborate with, the Director of Communications in respect of strategies to aggressively market the sport of Fencing, and engage USA Fencing’s current membership.

●      Write feature articles on athletes, clubs and key constituents of USA Fencing.

●      Engage with the communications, membership, events and development departments to brainstorm new initiatives, such as club outreach, event promotion, donor relations and promotion of member benefits. 

●      Publicize upcoming events, athlete achievements, competition results and other newsworthy subjects.

●      Maintain lists of national and hometown media contacts.

●      Track media coverage weekly for senior, junior, cadet, veteran and Paralympic national team members as well as pertinent club news.

●      Other duties as assigned.

Required Experience and Competencies

●      A commitment to a positive work culture, providing outstanding customer service to internal and external stakeholders. USA Fencing utilizes a team culture contract to support this work.

●      A commitment to integrity in your work, and your work relationships. A further commitment to DEIB, Athlete Safety, Anti-Doping and Integrity in Sport.

●      Bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications — or equivalent relevant experience.

●      1-3 years of experience in journalism, sports information, media relations or a related field (collegiate experience, such as at a college newspaper, can be counted toward this requirement).

●      Established relationships with media contacts, specifically those that cover the Olympic/Paralympic movement.

●      Ability to edit, produce and engage video content.

Location and Travel

The role is remote-based, or may be based in Colorado Springs, Colo. If remote, the role will require occasional travel to USA Fencing headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo. USA Fencing’s priority is recruiting the right individual over location factors.

In addition to occasional trips to Colorado Springs, you’ll serve as the primary, on-the-ground communications contact at three to five USA Fencing national tournaments each season. Further travel may be required and agreed within the Comms department.

Total travel requirements:

–       Five to seven domestic trips per year, each approximately five nights long.

–       One or two international trips per year, ranging from five to 14 nights.

–       Further travel may be required and agreed within the Comms department

Work Schedule

This is not your standard 9 to 5. Remotely covering fencing tournaments around the world — a responsibility you’ll share with the Director of Communications — will require some evening and weekend work, but a healthy work-life balance will be prioritized and is a core value of USA Fencing’s management team.
