    Sports Reporter- San Luis Obispo, CA

    That was kind of the impression I got. Not sure the guy, or even how it went down (maybe it was the first interview they did, and staff was blown away; I dunno much). But it seems they got set with this one pretty quick. At the rate I'm going, I may be applying to Target pretty soon. Some kind...

    Sports Reporter- San Luis Obispo, CA

    My sources tell me a target-hire has been acquired. I don't know anything more than that. Has anyone at least received word on interviews about this job?

    Sports Reporter- San Luis Obispo, CA

    I'd love to go for this job; half my family is in California, and it would be nice to get back to that state. But I've heard horror stories about "cost of living" in this area, and that makes me nervous with a traditional sports reporter's salary. Can anyone from the area confirm or deny the...

    Salt Lake?

    I haven't heard anything, but I have several friends who work at the Trib. I'm hoping for the best. I know that this seems to be a fairly natural hedging back in the SLC market. The Trib has been virtually The Newspaper for serious news junkies for the past several years, but it's constant need...

    So tomorrow I start my new online news job ...

    Congrats on the move to the Frozen Tundra that is the Digital Realm. Good luck. The No. 1 thing Web-centric journos need to know, and I'm sure most of the people on this site do more with it than I do: Twitter. People don't just want to read Web research and online stories; they want their...

    Salt Lake Tribune, winter sports/Olympics/MLS

    Naturally, something like this pops up right after I take a move to the other side of the country for grad school. I've been angling for either one of these positions at the Trib for years, since my junior year of college, even. I figured preps was more up to my experience level, but among my...

    Shakeup in Las Vegas

    In a former life (or less than a year ago), I worked in this newsroom. They seem to be letting go a ton of talent, and it's really a shame. My sources tell me there would be a lot of coin saved -- if the laid off editors apply for the new positions, and therefore forfeit their buyout. I'm...

    More cuts: ESPNHS unit

    As a newbie trudging through the high school sports writing scene for a few years, I got to know a few of the ESPNHS guys. Good reporters, solid writers, and definitely guys who will be moving up in the world. If a mighty juggernaut like ESPN can't support a HS Web site, what does this mean for...

    Sports Writer, Las Vegas Sun

    I heard from the Twitter-Webs that this position was filled. I sent in an application, but didn't even get the benefit of a "we received your application, and will contact you with any questions" B.S. email. But I'm told there were more than 100 applicants for this one (thought many of them were...

    Non-sports jobs, The Washington Times

    What's the experience of the applicants looking like so far? I'm very interested, and really want to get into news. But my only experience is the past two years working prep sports in Southern Nevada. Do I stand any chance?

    Prep Writer, Salt Lake Tribune

    I should just let this thread die, but I'm confused.. I just got an email from the editors at the Trib saying they would "contact me soon" if I made it to the interview stage. but the reports on this thread seem to be that they have moved well on past that stage. Any ideas on what this could...

    Baseball writer, Orange County Register

    Very well said and received, Oscar.... I didn't meant to sound like the experienced veterans aren't facing any difficult issues. I'm simply pointing out that the current state of the industry is difficult for all of us. And I dare submit (although I am new at this, and didn't try to get a job...

    Baseball writer, Orange County Register

    It seems to me that many of the "experienced" writers, or "old-timers" seem to think that the lag in our industry only affects them. Well, I have news for them: it's affecting all of us. I'm a fairly recent college grad with little "experience" outside of college news media and an internship...

    Sports designer; Provo, Utah

    Provo is a gorgeous community in which to live, and in a community of two universities, as well as a plethora of major league and minor league sports options (remember, it's only a 30-45 minute drive to SLC), it should fit well into the types of 'active sports enthusiasts' common to these...
