Assistant sports editor, Scranton Times-Tribune

You could always go listen to Scrantonicity play weddings if you got bored.

 

you also could drive to cooperstown pretty easily.

 

Pottsville, Pa., too.

 

you also could cruise the hershey highway, mikey.

 

It's only about 90 minutes away.

 

As mentioned, the Times and Tribune are one, but the ownership is putting together a little monopoly on NE Pa papers. They own the Citizens Voice in neighboring Wilkes-Barre (competes with the former Knight Ridder Times-Leader), the Hazleton Standard-Speaker, Pottsville Republican, Shamokin News-Item, some weeklies and I am probably missing some others.

There is a great little blog for Northeast Pa. media, which has a thread on this job. The comments page is here: https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21128745&postID=6782120293880445458

 

i wish i were still young enough and wanted to be an ASE.

don't know shit about the paper, but i'd love to live in that area of the country for a coupla years.

 

I was supposed to have an interview for this job when it was initially posted months ago. I had it all set up, and then it fell through for some reason. I don't remember the specifics, but I found out a day or two before the actual interview that it was cancelled.
I thought the SE was going to set up another interview, but I never heard from her again.
Needless to say, the job was posted a few weeks ago, again.
