    Sports Editor, Quincy Herald-Whig

    My whole point is, you're basically saying, "Why are we giving Subject X so much attention? We need to quit talking about it." But by simply MENTIONING the subject in question, you're continuing to bring additional attention to it. Doesn't make much sense to me. Further, if you don't care about...

    Liut obviously knows a lot about the area, and specifically, the paper in question. It's ironic that you post a stupid comment about how much attention this thread is receiving and how Liut should "go get some fresh air" ... yet you're commenting on it, too. What does that say about you? Sounds...

    Gonna be wild when "YOU'RE HIRED" for all the jobs and you've got four different jobs at The Athletic.

    Media Relations Rep, Johns Hopkins

    I mean, as long as the doors aren't locked, yeah, I'd think we all could walk right in. Don't see how that's difficult?

    Gannett Voluntary Buyouts

    That's really interesting about Frank Gannett. I didn't know that. (Also, "The Great Hyphenator" would have been a great name if he had gone into professional wrestling.)

    Sports writer | The Manhattan (KS) Mercury

    Riddick, you're right on both counts. I know folks at this paper very well, and it has had an incredibly strong track record (at least recently) of sending people onward and upward. Just since I've known about the paper, check out the last four people in this position and where they've gone...

    Sports writer | The Manhattan (KS) Mercury

    I've been told this job has been filled. Not sure when the person plans to announce. (Perhaps they are waiting to converse with MSUgrad about the salary. :p)

    Sports writer | The Manhattan (KS) Mercury

    I'm sure that, regardless of what they make, the first thing they're going to do is come on this thread and see if they get your seal of approval w/r/t salary.

    Sports Editor: The Covington News in Covington, Georgia

    Right off I-20. Only about 40 miles (give or take) to both Athens and Atlanta, so a great spot location wise if you're looking for things to do.

    Sports Reporter - The Villages Daily Sun - The Villages, FL

    If I had a dollar for every time over the years I've heard a parent accuse Sport X receiving more photos/longer stories than Sport Y (which their kid happens to play on), then ... I still would be a poor journalist. (Hey, gotta lean into the trope, right?) I will echo the thoughts of others on...

    Sports Reporter - The Villages Daily Sun - The Villages, FL

    ^^^The above quote should be copied-and-pasted every time one of those queries about "covering nearby big college or pro teams" pops up on a thread for a high school beat writer position (or something similar). It's from a thread on another part of the board, but tip of the cap to HanSenSE for...

    Carolina Panthers beat reporter - Charlotte Observer

    No idea where the paper sits in terms of filling the two openings, but I guess they're giving another writer a trial run of sorts? ...
