Would this be the future Mrs. Chris Snow?

So it's going to look more like the Star-Telegram?

I'm not doubting that and without siding with DP, I'd have to say the SB must have been a great place to work before this fiasco. At MOST papers everyone would have looked the other way when the F-bombs started flying. That or had some hallucinogenic version of the event.

There's a sense of entitlement because many larger papers ARE hiring kids straight out of college. They are cheaper. Bigger papers can also absorb an inexperienced hire easier than smaller operations. Exactly. The young lady in the original post could probably get hired at the Fort Worth...

It's also possible that the sports department at the S-T is the only department that hasn't faced cuts or tightening. The other departments run a lot leaner than sports. And, covering...
