Doggone it. You had me wondering if Wisconsin State Journal was hiring. Regardless, good luck in your search, sounds like a good job for the right candidate.

 

Are you leaving, Kevin?

UNG is a nice group of papers, and WCI - as I mentioned in the Dubuque job thread - is a solid company. This is a good job.

 

Sorry, not the State Journal. That subject title is a bit deceiving.

Yes, WSW, I am leaving. I accepted a sports writer position at the Portage Daily Register. I start Monday and I'm pretty excited.

But UNG is a good job for someone young or just starting out. You get to work in all facets - writing, photography, layout, copy editing – and you work with good people. I enjoyed my time there, it was just time to move on.
