This seems like a pretty solid gig. Kind of surprising not more info/input here about this one.

I would have to imagine there are plenty of folks willing to pack up and move across country for a gig like this one. Myself being one of them.

With the seasons getting ready to kick off, I'm willing to bet this one has been filled. Any word on who?

Who is the SE at this shop? I may be blind but I couldn't find the info on the website. Sounds like a good gig but not a pleasurable task of reading hundreds of applications.

I applied as soon as I saw this one posted. But like most others, I don't have that required major college experience. It's interesting how papers won't hire you because they always want that experience covering major college, but no paper is willing to offer a college gig to someone without...

What are the specs of the paper? Circulation? Good Company to work for? Worth Moving to Alabama?
