The Merced Sun-Star - Sports Reporter

Job Description:
SPORTS REPORTER – We’re the Merced Sun-Star, a McClatchy daily in the shadow of California’s foothills. We’ve already won storerooms full of awards for excellence, but we’re still full of ambition at a time when too many newspapers continue to march in place. Right now we are anticipating growth in our Sports Department due to the conversion of our sports section into a daily tabloid sports magazine. We need a creative and enthusiastic pro to join us. Yes, you’d need to be a solid paginator for some desk shifts, but we also want a solid writer/reporter to handle assignments ranging from preps to Division I Fresno State football and basketball. We’re a staff of multi-task experts looking for one more teammate. Salary competitive with the area, outstanding benefits, great place to live without spending enormous amounts of money. If you want to be part of something special, send a cover letter, resume and three work samples to Human Resources, 3033 North G Street, P.O. Box 739, Merced, CA 95340. Email welcome to cchess@mercedsun-star.com Sorry – no relocation is available for this position. EEO Pre-placement physical and drug screen required

 

doesn't this shop always have an opening?

 

I was thinking the same thing. If I'm not mistaken, this is the SAME ad it ran on here about four months ago.

 

Probably because, as a 15K McClatchy, the pay is lucky to be in the $25K range -- a prohibitive salary for a lot of people who would jump at the chance to be in central California if they could afford it.

 

is poodle boy still editor?

 

oh god, someone please give an update on this one.
