Sports Reporter, Minot (N.D.) Daily News

***I understand there has been a lot of turnover here lately, but want to mention that the last two people that left are still in the industry. One switched locations for a family reason and the other landed an intriguing opportunity in the Virgin Islands. Here's the ad:

The Minot Daily News, a 19,000-circulation, seven-day newspaper in northwest North Dakota, immediately seeks a full-time sportswriter to complete our four-person staff.

The region features competitive prep athletics along with two junior colleges and Minot State University, an NCAA Division II school in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. We also cover the Minot Minotauros, a junior hockey team in the North American Hockey League.

We focus on writing clean, concise copy and also take our own photos. Photography experience is preferred, but we would train the right applicant to use a camera. Layout duties for our sports department are simply formatting scores on our scoreboard page once or twice a week.

To apply, send your resume and five clips to dallar@minotdailynews.com, and please put "sports reporter" in the subject line.

 

And remember, there is virtually no housing available.

However, having said that, it seems that every KMOT staffer I've met is new to the area and has managed to find a place to live.

Gas is $4 a gallon, movies are over $10 and Little Texas is playing at the Y's Men Rodeo later this month.

But I hear we're getting a another Walmart and have recently discovered that Bismarck has a Five Guys. The second McDonald's should also re-open in a month or so.

 

It snows up there once in a while too ....

 

This position has been filled, I hear. Could be oil-field gossip, but I'm pretttty sure.

 

Yes, the position has been filled. Thanks to all who applied.

 

Congratulations to Ryan Collingwood on getting the open position.

A very good fit for both parties.
