Reporter, Sports in NEW YORK, New York, United States

 

Seems as if this is a top-notch job. Don't have to deal with the drudgery of working a team beat. Honestly, seems like a dream job in that you get to write about pretty much anything and be a leader in the industry.

 

You should apply.

 

Don't want to move to NYC or travel. Have a bad back and plane trips are miserable. Also enjoy the projects I'm involved with.

For those with talent, and there are people here who can write stories besides gamers and basic features, this seems to be a good gig. More people interested in covering preps and JUCOs for a measly wage, though.

 

I would love this gig but doubt I'd even get an interview
