The King is back!  LeBron James announced his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the entire state of Ohio is buzzing.  With James of course comes a media frenzy and each publication wants to make sure they’re well equipped to handle the extra added news.  Well one publication decided to be extra prepared by putting out an ad for a reporter that will solely follow and cover LeBron James.

Northeast Ohio Media Group, a corporate conglomerate that includes Cleveland newspaper The Plain Dealer among its holdings, recently posted a listing on its job info page alerting would-be applicants that a position has opened up — presumably at The Plain Dealer – for a sports reporter.

But it’s not just any regular team beat, it’s a Lebron beat.  All LeBron, all the time.  Here’s the job description:

Bring your sports, news and investigative reporting experience to one of the most challenging reporting jobs in the country, covering the sports performance, business dealings and community leadership of basketball star LeBron James. You’ll cover all aspects of his roles in Northeast Ohio and nationally as he returns to the Cleveland Cavaliers, writing, creating videos, and posting across multiple platforms including all relevant types of social media. You’ll also participate in broadcasts where you discuss James, working closely with reporters assigned to cover the Cavaliers and the NBA.

We’ve created an entirely new media company, and we’ll provide the resources to help you do the job well. If you are hungry to take on one of the most challenging and potentially rewarding reporting challenges, and if you’ve got the chops to write about basketball, business, charity and community, this could be the right role for you.

I’m sure this is a dream job for many.
