In the bright new morning of name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, there are more opportunities than ever for students who want to pursue career opportunities in sports media. 

Whether it’s student-athletes producing highlights, or student-journalists producing highlight reels, there are a lot of shining talents in the Augusta River Region! Zone706 wants to give that talent another platform to shine upon.

We’re looking for student reporters to join our team. This opportunity is ideal for any student who wants to support their team while gaining valuable sports journalism experience in the process! Our goal is to empower area students to find their creative voices and give them the journalistic tools to harness them. 

As a Zone706 student reporter, you will document and record news, highlights, previews, recaps, etc., for your school’s teams. You’ll have the freedom to attend the games and write on the topics that you want.  We’ll help build your journalism portfolio and develop skills that will prepare you for roles in sports media, including: 

• Shooting and editing photos and videos
• Optimizing web content for search engines 
• Social media reporting
• Interviewing and script writing
• Story idea generation

If you or someone you know is right for this opportunity, send questions along with writing and media samples to info@zone706.com!
