They have a solid paper and good news sense as well as sports sense. They cover two college teams that don't get a lot of press outside of Indiana and do a very good job doing it. As for the city of Evansville it's a growing city that has gambling both casino and horse racing across the river in kentucky as well a stop on the unlimited hydroplane tour every fourth of july week. and lots of cultural stuff as well. A symphony, lots of great concerts for all genres, plus an attractive zoo and several good museums. it's also close to indy, louisville and nashville. the only downfall is the city's nickname "stoplight city". if you drive down us 41 during morning or afternoon rush hour then you'll truly experience it. Oh wait a minute, i better not say so many good things about the paper or the city because some of you guys might try and get the job that I've wanted since i first started in this business...never mind it's a terrible place that will get you nowhere except stuck in traffic...please disregard this transmission I WANT THE JOB.

This isn't a bad job, but I think this paper has gone downhill a bit in the last 10-15 years. Section size is awfully small, and they don't do much coverage in areas outside Evansville anymore.

As far as the city goes, I'm not crazy about it, but I've seen (and lived in) worse.

Especially the Haute. Ick.

But at least it's not as bad as Fort Wayne.

Anyone figure out what this beat is?

Barsuk · Jul 30, 2007

My understanding is the writing position isn't open yet. But there's a chance it will open soon, so they wanted to put out some feelers, just in case. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
