Sports copy editor, Idaho Press-Tribune, Nampa, Idaho

Great bars and .... well .... that's about it.

The only change Butte will ever have is when there's finally a little rumble on that fault line and the whole town turns into a huge sink hole.

 

Wasn't me, sorry. But if there are any questions, I'd be happy to answer them via e-mail at pdailey@idahopress.com.

 

that was kinda awesome ... what you did there.

 

And now for the layoffs.

"Layoffs did not occur in the newsroom, but over time, some positions have not been filled, Managing Editor Vickie Holbrook said."

 

What's really strange about this is that the Boise paper just outsourced its printing to the Press-Tribune.
You'd think a whole mess of money would be coming the Press-Tribune's way thanks to that.

 

Sports did not have any cuts. We are going to fill the vacant position.

 

what the hell is going on at that paper?

who left this fine establishment? it wasn't the last guy in the door, was it?

 

It's not a bad gig for the right person and I agree Phil would be really good to work for. Spoke with him at length about the position a month ago. They think and act bigger than the number would indicate.

The downsides: you're the number two paper in the market (in the shadow of the Idaho Statesman). Staff of six (at a 21K paper) means a reduction in staff could be a real possibility if revenues drop.

They'll get someone qualified. I don't have any doubt about that.
