This is a CNHI paper.
But it produces a good product and it a regular award winner.
Fairmont is just outside Morgantown and the paper is squeezed between the Dominion Post (Mo'Town) and the Clarksburg paper (about 20 miles down I-79.
Fairmont's coverage area is pretty much Fairmont.

 

Not much to add, other than what was said the last time this gig was open. Morale seems a LOT better with the new publisher in place, though.

Hometown of University of Alabama head football coach Nick Saban. That's all I got.

 

This has been filled. Was filled back in mid-June actually. I'm the new sports editor and we've hired Joe Mitchin as sports reporter. He wrote for WVU's school newspaper.
