While I am unable to apply for this position, the folks that I met through an internship while attending nearby VU were really nice. This would be a great job to have for a solid newspaper.

 

Where's the ad? The site only has an opening for a writer position

 

It will be posted soon.

 

How long has the sports writer position been open?

 

Where's Justin going?

 

I've been promoted to assistant managing editor. Very excited about this new opportunity.

 

Very old news

 

Not a good sign if the job description mentions page proofing twice.

 

Did they ever fill that writer position that was open last month?
