Description:
The Porterville Recorder, a 9,300-circ., six-day daily in southeastern Tulare County, is seeking a journalist to serve as assistant managing editor-sports to help take the Sports Section -- and the paper -- to the next level. Our primary coverage area includes six high schools, a community college and a wide array of community sports. We're located on the doorstep of some of the finest outdoor recreational areas in the state. We're looking for someone who is innovative and is willing to move forward with multimedia. The successful candidate must be responsive to community concerns and interests. We prefer a minimum of three years reporting experience and a year in an assistant editor position. To apply, send a cover letter stating why you're the person for the job, a resume and 5-7 work samples to Managing Editor Jordan Righi at jrighi@portervillerecorder.com, or at The Recorder, 115 E. Oak Ave., Porterville, CA 93257.

 

No title inflation here: A 10K paper with nothing much to cover has an AME/sports. Area is a challenge, and you're so busy doing rather than training/planning/thinking (I know a former SE from here) that it's a grind. Watch out for the Tule fog as well.

 

at least porterville's not off the beaten path.

 

Surely you jest, Tom...you can keep busy hugging the sequoias, though.

 

but it's off that major freeway. what is it, like 21 or 43 or 91 or something?
