Northern Illinois Univ. beat writer in DeKalb, Ill.

Wasn't this one just open a while back?

 

No, the Sports Editor position was open a couple months ago.

 

Of course, without knowing the situation, this is all speculation. But my first instinct to this was, "Man, the former NIU beat guy must not have liked the new sports editor."

Or maybe it was just time for him to move on. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

 

Definitely not the reason for this opening.

 

Any news on this job opening?

 

Yes, in the three days since the job's been posted, they've read through 200 applications, brought in several people for interviews, offered the job to one guy, been turned down, and offered it to another who's currently considering it.

Or, you could just give it some time.

What's the record for shortest time between original job posting to "Any news here" post? Somebody should make it a point to get on all new job postings on this board and post "Any news here?" for the second post of the thread. It could be the new "You're hired."

 

Anybody heard whether the second guy will take the job? Guess they're moving fast on this one. ;D

 

Assuming the second guy didn't take the job, whats the status in DeKalb?

 

I'm guessing this opening is on the back burner in DeKalb for the foreseeable future.

 

I heard from the grapevine that's someone has been hired.

 

You are right, sir. They got a good one, too. It's John Sahly, an MU alum and (now former) reporter for the Aurora Beacon-News.

Good hire.

 

Good hire, indeed. John is good people and will do well there.
