    Sports editor, Simsbury, CT

    It's a weekly, and a fairly crappy one at that. The paper covers a half-dozen or so high schools in the area but doesn't really do a good job at it. I've heard the management is atrocious, and more often than not, you'll be doing asinine deskwork and making sure the pictures of all the Little...

    Making the hiring process personal

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I come with a simple question, which probably comes with a simple answer - although it's not all that simple. I'm a 29-year-old guy who's been in a relationship for three years with a girl who accepted a job in Arizona in January. We lived in New York - now...

    Hartford Courant ditches last pro beat....

    just talked to a buddy who works there. the number is 22 total. four editors, nine writers, nine on the desk. then they have four part-timers, so they can be added on at-will. he said there used to be days when they'd have 22 people in there at one night. now that's the staff. sad days indeed.

    More on Tribune's redesign

    Let's just say that something that belongs on the top of the newspaper is now stripped down the left side of the newspaper.

    You think that's bad? T-minus six days until you see what the braniacs in Hartford came up with.

    Sports Reporter/Paginator - Meriden [Conn.]

    Anyone know anything here? Seems like a decent small paper?

    Circulation numbers for the black press?

    (Moderators, feel free to move to another forum if necessary.) I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me. I'm preparing a historical essay on the black press in the 20th century and have been looking for circulation numbers for some of the nation's largest papers - the Chicago Defender...
