I know the person who had this job pretty well. I also worked here for awhile. Solid gig for a designer looking to break in or move up.

 

I work here (and on the desk, to boot). PM me with questions or just post them here.

 

Decent paper. Decent town. But a zillion mile from anywhere else. No such thing as a "quick trip".

 

What's the pay? Last time I applied for a similar job at a similarly sized Lee paper, they were paying $20k-$22k or something ridiculous.

 

Made considerably more than that at a Lee paper that was smaller. Look, ain't no one getting rich in newspapers, but this looks like a key position and I'm guessing they'll go 30k or higher for the right person. Doesn't strike me as an entry-level gig.

 

SE is a good guy and they have fantastic design ... perfect spot for someone who enjoys the great outdoors

 

Casper recently lost its Pioneer League team. That's all I got.

 

That's actually kind of depressing.

 

Where did the Ghosts move to?

 

Grand Junction, Colo.
