sports writer, Sandusky, OH

Here we go again.
The Sandusky Register, an award-winning 24,000 circulation daily on the shores of Lake Erie, is looking for a sports reporter with a passion for producing local copy. We want someone with enthusiasm, energy, a good sense of humor and the ability to report and write a range of sports stories. The right person for the job will be a self-starter with at least one year of reporting experience and the ability to produce local copy for a variety of platforms, is creative with their writing and presentation, and committed to serving our community. We cover 18 schools and 19 sports during the year, and our programs are among the state's finest. Some page design is required, but this position will mostly require someone to dig for news. We have high expectations in our newsroom, and the right candidate will be a person who relishes a challenge, can work in a fast-paced environment, and needs little supervision and direction. A candidate with knowledge of the area or local ties is preferred, but not required. If you think you've got what it takes, we want to hear from you. A vacation paradise, Sandusky is the rollercoaster capital of the world and home to the best amusement park in the universe. The cost of living here is as good as it gets and our lakefront is less than an hour from Cleveland. Send cover letter, resume and five best clips by Dec. 11 to Sandusky Register, Anthony Moujaes, Sports Editor, 314 W. Market St., Sandusky, OH 44870 or e-mail moujaes@sanduskyregister.com.

 

The comedy never ends.

 

I'm guessing this one comes open pretty frequently?

 

Any one work at this shop before?

 

I did, from October of last year until April. PM me if you'd like the "gory" details.

 

I'm guessing Anthony Moujaes must have been promoted to fill the sports editor position, thus creating this opening. There are many details on old threads about what a mess the hiring of the sports editor was and how long it took. Maybe this won't be as bad with a sports guy in charge, but who knows.

 

He's not in charge. He's just a figure head.

 

Should have known ... did my oil change this week ....

 

What sports editor is in charge these days?

 

There are a few. Unfortunately, they are their own staff.

 

Me too. For 4 1/2 years. Gilles, I feel your pain. Everyone, please avoid this place. I'm telling you, go flip burgers or something.

 

I didn't work for the Register but I did have a chance to work alongside of guys like Butch Wagner, Dan Angelo and Ed Fox in years gone by. They were all good guys. I'm guessing those were better times.
