    This is a BIG-BOY job, and one I would salivate over if my personal situation was what it is. An innovative approach to design and presentation, and they do what they do VERY well.

    Hoooo-weee! Now this is a job people could salivate over. Strong presentation, solid section. (And no, I don't work there.)

    I wonder if they also rank 50th out of the 500 top newspapers.

    Why not just say "top 50 in the nation in circulation"?

    Not every SE job at every big paper is always filled from within.

    Boston Globe talked to several people before promoting Sullivan, for example.

    I could name a number of other examples. Depends on the assistants, whether they want the job or not, whether they've got the complete skills or are more specialists, etc.

    When they hit, they hit big. Which is more often than not.
    At the same time, though, when they miss .... Holy Shit. They miss HUGE.

    That's the sign of a good paper; not being afraid to take chances.

    Mike Harris is his name. And they brought in people from the outside before promoting from within. They did the same thing in Las Vegas before promoting Joe Hawk.

    MileHigh, hate to be the one to break it to you, but your sarcasm font reader is broken. Then again, Slappy obviously broke SportsJournalists.com rules, as his comment necessitated blue type.

    Ah, what can I say? I've been sick for four days, so not everything is computing, blue type or no. :-\

    According to rumblings on the boots pipeline, this could be a done deal by June.
     
  12. Atlanta brought in Ronnie Ramos from the outside.

    Ditto for St. Louis and Larry Starks and Sacramento and Bill Bradley.
