Sports Reporter - Clute, TX

 

Proceed with caution. Sports editor is a glorified stringer. You'll have to rewrite much of his work all while writing your own stuff and designing pages. Odd because the whole newsroom talks behind his back about how terrible he is but he keeps his job. Managing editor is a dick too. Seems to be the norm these days though. All the good folks left the business apparently.
