Not in the ad: This position will likely do a lot of sports if I get the right person in here. There are always duties involving other desks, but I envision this being primarily sports when we get someone up to speed. There is also the opportunity to show some versatility as a sports slot editor running the sports section's production ion some nights f we get someone who also has strong chops as an editor.

If you have any questions, shoot me a message or email at james.royal@tulsaworld.com (resumes should go to hr@tulsaworld.com.

 

And to head off the inevitable question, yes, we had a job open in May. We filled that position, and then one of our designers (Adam Daigle) was promoted to Assistant Editor to replace Sarah Hart, who is leaving for ESPN, leading to our current opening.

 

2 folks from the World taking ESPN jobs ... not bad.

Are you looking an external candidates, because I don't want to waste two minutes emailing my clips?

 

That's five people at two papers taking ESPN jobs. The dominoes are falling, as Lawton just lost a guy to the Oklahoman and are looking for someone now too.
Thanks ESPN for the worst timing imaginable with football very close.

 

We're definitely looking at external candidates. Almost guaranteed this is an outside hire.
