Sports Editor - Bristol, VA

I've only heard good things about this gig, the staff and the section. Seems like a great opportunity for someone who wants to come in and kick ass.

 

I've heard good things about the gig, but also hear the town kinda sucks, though.

 

Obama seemed to like it.

Since the other thread was locked for obvious reasons, I figured I'd post this here.

From what I've heard the SE job is OPEN!!! I won't get into the details. I'm not sure but I would assume that the SE job and sports writer jobs are both open.

 

any idea why?

 

He said he wasn't going to get into the details. I'm assuming he knows why.

 

anyone ELSE know why... ah forget it

 

If you want details, e-mail me. All I know is that the person who previously accepted it has now turned it down.

 

This should probably come from me, since I'm the one who accepted the job and then turned it down. My situation had nothing to do with The Bristol Herald Courier. This job could be a great opportunity for the right person and the managing editor there, Todd Foster, seems like he'd be a great person to work for.

As for "the details" ... I have decided to get out of the newspaper business for personal (family) reasons. It's really that simple. I've got a young family (three kids) and need to be home more. After 12 years of working second shift, well, I'm sure you all get the picture ...

Take care and good luck to all of you.

Best of luck to ya, Matt.

 

Given the way the business is nowadays and family that decision certainly seems fair to me. Best of luck, Matt.

 

JJobs re-posted the job, so I thought I might give it a bump.
