Burke Noel, the SE, is definitely a good guy.

 

Godwin Kelly, the paper's motorsports and outdoors editor, is also good people ...

 

The paper's new owners are not good people.

 

Wasn't this job open within the last year?

 

I vaguely remember this one being around months ago STLwriter.
Deskslave, there aren't many owners that could be classified as good. Too many conglomerates, etc.

 

March of last year, if you're interested.

 

I actually filled the position last March. I'm still at the paper. This is another opening. For the record, I have been extremely happy with how I have been treated at this shop.

 

Acknowledged. But with these, you'll get all the contempt for journalism of a conglomerate, plus a heaping helping of pettiness, spite, malice and small-town backstabbing.

I may have a personal bias in this situation, I must acknowledge.

 

It does but that's not a criticism of you. Obviously you had a bad experience with that chain. Something like that could happen at any paper. It just depends on the circumstances.

 

Again, I have had nothing but a pleasant experience here.

 

What's a gig like this pay? Ballpark figure? $41k? Right?
