    Note: Whoever uploaded this posting to J-Jobs titled the position, "Need a winner on our sports desk." So loosers need not apply.

    Those pro NFL, NBA and NHL teams are so much better than the amateur ones.

    Just curious: What's a gig like this pay?

    March Madness means something here?
    It means everything in Raleigh.
    Ugh. I hate the pecking order of that job description, but it illustrates the difference in the two markets.
    Salary: Guessing $32K-42K based on experience.

    Go on the low end of that guess ...

    I'd go below that guess. Talked to a friend of mine at the Observer, said they've been hiring kids fresh out of college and paying high 20s. Unreal.

    Yeah, they started doing that when they cranked up doing those hyper-local community papers a little over a year ago, and its now moved over to the uni desk ... and I remember the days there when you wouldn't even be considered for a job there unless you had at least five years experience at a small to medium daily ...

    When I was in college, the Charlotte Observer was my dream destination.

    Well, until I moved on to Sports Illustrated.

    Sad. I had a newspaper internship 13 years ago that paid more than that when you break it down to weekly pay.

    EDIT: From what little I've heard, Gannett is paying much more at its regional hubs. Anyone know if that's the case?
