    Want to be a part of a top-notch news room in an area where sports is king? In the last year, two of our football teams won state championships with many more expected in other sports. From big schools to small schools both private and public, the coverage area of the Delta Democrat-Times is a sports editor’s dream. The chance to get to know the best athletes in the Delta and some of the best coaches in the state is difficult to pass up.

    We are now accepting resumes to fill the position of sports editor at the Delta Democrat-Times. The paper consistently has one of the top sports section in the state, so we only want the best and brightest. Time spent on the staff of a daily newspaper or as the sports editor of a weekly or bi-weekly paper is a must. Applicants must be comfortable behind the camera and in-front of the camera. Design experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate.

    Benefits include company-match 401(k), health insurance and paid vacation. To apply, send a cover letter, resume, clips and at least three references to jalverson@ddtonline.com.

    Three newspapers in Mississippi are eliminating their Monday print editions.

    The Greenwood Commonwealth in Greenwood, the Delta Democrat-Times in Greenville and the Enterprise-Journal in McComb are all owned by Emmerich Newspapers.

    The company's president, Wyatt Emmerich, says advertising has declined, particularly for Monday editions.

    With the new schedule, all three newspapers will publish print editions Tuesday through Friday and on Sunday.

    All three papers say they will continue to regularly publish news on their websites.

    Does the Carter family still own the paper?

    No, haven't for years. Drip mentioned the tool who owns it in his post above.
