So, the last guy only lasted three months? Anyone know what happened? I remember they kept moving the application deadline back last time in hope of finding a better candidate.

 

Was Dan Itel the old editor? What happened to him?

 

Yeah, he was the old editor, but only took over in Oct. or Nov. if i recall.

 

My best friend in the biz was offered this job the last time it was open. At the same time he was interviewing in Lafayette, he was also interviewing at a paper four times bigger. When the job offer came, he was honest with the Lafayette folks and said he's appreciate some time to see how things shook out.

Lafayette immediately yanked the offer. Apparently, the direction they decided to go didn't work out so well for them.

 

And, yes, this wasn't that long ago — maybe August or September.

 

That was the first round of job offerings. I think they had two or three people turn the gig down, so they went about another round of interviews.
Wonderig what's so wrong with this gig, though I heard it's a whole lot of desk work.

 

The paper is pretty bad. Lafayette is a great town, but the paper isn't highly thought of in the community. Matter of fact, a few years ago, the Baton Rouge paper had a part-time stringer who would beat The Advertiser like a $25 whore that stole his wallet on big USL stuff...like when the football coach got canned.

 

I'm kinda curious. How do you quit a job so quickly. considering you're probably locked in a one-year lease and your moving expenses are also tied into some sort of one-year agreement.

 

Isn't every SE job at Gannett about the DESK? Oh, and micromanagement?

 

so, the 20-year-old nazi now is an expert on newspaper chains.

when are you moving over to news, adolf? i thought you hated sports.

 

Go back to your shit sandwich, Tommy.

 

i actually thought i had when i left a message for an ignorant fucktard, who hates sports and wants so desperately to be in news, yet continues to post on a sports message board.

are you also so very confused about your sexuality as well? ... would be a good reason for your idiotic views about falling in line behind a controlling government, and, well, shit, just about everything else you bring to the table.

just admit it hilary, i'm guessing it would make you feel much better to come clean.
