    Lubbock, Texas
    Job Status: Full-time
    Salary: Not Specified

    Description:
    Sports Editor

    Our homegrown sports editor was just snapped up by a big metro and we're looking for someone who can continue the great work and even take our sports section and Web presence further.

    We're home to Texas Tech University and that means (as you know) Big 12 sports. But we cover a lot more than Tech. We cover other university sports, tons of high schools and are always looking for other good sports stories.

    We want someone who has a vision for a multi-platform future, who believes in great storytelling, understands the importance of great design, appreciates alternate ways to tell stories and can pull it all together by deadline. We want someone who has already supervised a sports staff at a daily newspaper.

    If interested, please send a cover letter, resume, references and a sample of your sports section to:

    Terry Greenberg Editor c/o Ashley McGuire The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal 710 Avenue J Lubbock TX 79401 You can send everything but the section via e-mail to ashley.mcguire@lubbockonline.com.

    The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

    Where's Patrick Gonzales going? Big ups to him; he's a local dude and I figured he'd be there forever.

    Patrick is going to Detroit -- the Detroit News, if I recall correctly.

    Well, the men's basketball beat sure as hell isn't as high profile as it was a month ago...

    I've been to Lubbock. Bought two shirts and a pair of shoes at the mall.

    That's all I got.

    Do they still run a 2/5 page color ad on the front page of the sports section everyday?

    I'll bet he got a $20K raise to go from Lubbock to Detroit...
