Lynchburg (Va.) News & Advance sports editor

And the thread comes to a grinding halt. Coincidence? I think not.

 

Hopefully the outgoing SE will give the APSE winner on his staff a fat raise before he walks out the door...

 

As for salary, it depends on experience. I'm not going to throw a number out to back Joe into a corner, but I think the person who gets this job would be pleasantly surprised. Starting salaries for writers at the smaller MG papers are not good. Sports editor at the N&A? Let's just say I've made more money elsewhere, but was very satisfied with what I made here. If you want to know what the ballpark number is, submit your resume.

 

I hear they have a sports writer on the staff who did an outstanding job as a sports editor out west somewhere ... if he's interested in the job, then no one else should even bother to apply.

 

I don't think he's interested. He likes writing quite a bit.

 

Does that mean it's mostly a desk job?

 

Yes.

 

Any word on this one?

 

Might as well bust the cherry on an old SJ standard...
You're HIRED!!

 

The word is... Joe is still taking resumes. For those interested, please send your resumes.

 

I did June 1 was my last day. I would have replied sooner, but for some reason it takes Verizon five days to turn on phone service. Yeah, I know. Don't say it.
