    It's Gannett. Send them a clip of your salary.

    Sending "clips" for an editing position ... then, again, some of your best editors were your best writers, so send some of your writing clips. Unless the desk destroyed them.

    Send a resume and a coherent cover letter. If they want to see clips, they'll have you edit raw copy.
