Interviewed here once and was offered the job sight unseen, which I thought was a little weird.

 

No longer a Brown Publishing property, which should be a plus.
Paper was bought in the bankruptcy action by another daily down the road in Delphos.

 

They are looking to make a very quick hire on this one.
