Sports writer part-time Sandy/Gresham, OR

Waiting on official word on this, but looks like my shop will be looking for a part-time (32-hour) sports writer to split duties between a couple of our chain's newspapers.

Yes, it's a downsizing move, but might be a good fit for the right person.

More details as I get confirmations on the search...hopefully by mid-week.

 

Hi Sandy!

 

looking elsewhere for family reasons...so yes.

 

Sounds like I'll be taking on SE duties for two publications...so while we're stripping this down to a part-time gig...we're also stripping the duties down to strictly writing and some photography.

 

I am interested in the position. How can I apply? Feel free to PM me. Thanks.

 

Sounds like I'll be getting official word about how we'll proceed on Thursday...I'll post more specifics as soon as I know.

 

To those who have expressed interest...real life has interfered with the process...delaying a definite answer on how we'll proceed until next week. More details as soon as I get the go-ahead.

 

Don't get your hopes up of working for a well-organized paper This is the busiest time of year for sports and management is dragging their heels?

 

It was a death in the family...so back off.

Also in the Northwest...winter is the slowest time of year...fewest sports going anyway. But yes, we are nearing playoff time.

 

All right...we've got confirmation...since it's a part-time spot this posting is not going to journalismjobs.com, so if you're seeing it here you may have an inside track.
