Guys this paper is in a growing area, and Phil Dailey, the sports editor, would be a great guy to work for

 

Guess they didn't get enough applicants the first time:

Edit: They have two copy editing openings now. The first one is nearing a hire, though.

 

Who wants to work in that crap town?

 

The Haute has a paper. So does Butte.

 

thanks for weighing in, phil.

 

I'm sorry. I was giving somebody a hard time. I'll make sure I don't do it again, since it seems to bug you so much.

 

I was just joking. But be a little more sensitive next time. That works, too. :

 

true, though ... if Butte/Anaconda can have a paper, any town can get one.

 

Butte and Anaconda each have a paper. Anaconda's isn't a daily though.

 

I know ... I tend to lump them both together. Though Butte is certainly the bigger hole.

 

I was in Butte yesterday. It hasn't changed.
