How much (if any) layout responsibilities are involved with this position?

 

I hear this paper produces talented reporters.

 

I've never met their SE, but have only heard really good things about him. I know a couple of their writers, and have only good things to say about them, too. All in all, from the little bit I know, it's a pretty good place to work.

 

Good paper. Good area. Be prepared to work hard.
