Note: This is a Gatehouse property, not CNHI (which owns most of the smaller papers in Oklahoma).

It was 101 degrees today (Friday, Sept. 6).

 

well not being CNHI is a plus

 

They are advertising for a sports writer on jjobs, so I assume they hired in-house.

they haven't hired an SE yet. Noticed that Rex Ryan is from Ardmore too ... for those that care.

 

they've made a sports editor hire. Now working on the reporter spot. Think they wanna move pretty quick. Also, the previous SE left for a job at the Oklahoman.

 

Scott Joiner is the new SE here. He was the SE at the Fort Bend Herald.

 

Congrats. Freelanced for Scott last year and he was a real pro to work with. I hope he can survive Ardmore OK.

 

filled

 

Looks like Micah McVicker from Bloomington Herald-Times is the new Ardmore reporter. Confirmed via Twitter feed.
