Assistant sports editor, Middletown, NY

just curious if anyone's in the job yet. Good luck Doug.

 

I was born in Newburgh. Maybe it was being a little kid, but NYC seemed like 1,000 miles away.

 

And then you got caught between the moon and New York City ...

 

If there was ever a town that was always on the verge of a renassaince -- but never made progress -- it's Newburgh.

A very crappy city in a great, convenient location.

 

All I can remember about Newburgh was that it was a hellhole. Honestly.

 

Still is, some would say.

Isn't Janine Garofalo from Newburgh?

 

My dad pioneered cable TV in Newburgh in the mid-1960s, and his office was on the far end of Broadway, toward Water Street. And Water Street was one of the scariest places on Earth.

 

No, Monday Morning, the job is not filled. In fact, we have been a bit slow in getting out the word on other job sites. We do have some quality candidates. Always looking for more, of course.
I'm certainly biased, but this is a great job opening for a forward-thinking, talented editor. Not many papers our size put as strong an emphasis on sports as we do. And it's a good mix of local, NYC and national.
Thanks for the good thoughts.
