Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal (footnote added)

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

You guys put out some good written work. We use it frequently off the AP Wire. Never seen your printed stuff, though. I would love to apply but I started back to school in August after being laid off and wouldn't be available until the middle of December. If you didn't need me before then, I will gladly send in a resume and samples.

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

Jeff, you just never know. But one thing I'm lacking right now are many names of people who're out there. If I'm familiar with you, that might coem in handy later, if not now.

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

I emailed you a resume and samples. Look forward to hearing from you

T-Rex.

Banged a gong, but did not get it on.

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

Great shop, great staff and Henry is one of the best to work with/for.

I have a great gig now, but if I was even slightly unhappy with my current position I would be all over this.

Best of luck to whoever fills the seat and for Henry finding the right fit.

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

Thanks! (Don't know who that is, but I should have to buy them lunch.)

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

This is a great staff and leader to work for. If not for the realization in the last couple of years that my passion is more on the writing side I'd throw my name into the pool. I love this part of the country and intended on heading south years ago until family illness became priority. All the best to the lucky desk lover that lands this gig.

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

was this an unexpected departure?

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

The Daily Journal has the best section in Mississippi. If it had the state-wide circulation the C-L has, more folks would realize it.

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

You want this job. Believe me. John's great to work for/with, the paper is in great shape and the sports section is excellent.

Many times I wonder what's going on on the desk in Tupelo.

Tupelo's a solid town, too.

 

Re: Lead sports desk, NE Mississippi Daily Journal

One nice thing about the paper I learned when I interviewed back during reconstruction - the family that owned the paper "sold" it to a community foundation that runs it as a sort of public trust. Nothing's guaranteed anymore, but that's as secure an ownership as you could realisticly hope for.
