    Op-Ed designer at Boston Globe

    There is actually a very good reason why I'm posting this job to a sports board. I'll get to that in a second ... We're about to launch a redesign of our daily op-ed pages as we continue to explore new ways of redefining print and digital opinion journalism in every visual way we can. We're a...

    Anyone interested in owning sportsdesigner.org?

    I've had it for years and don't really need it anymore. I'd like to give it away to a good cause OR because it's almost Christmas and I already bought too many Barbies, I would sell it to the highest bidder.

    Bye-bye P-I: One man's -30-

    A scanned copy of the agate (those final papers are hard to find!) is posted at http://www.sportsdesigner.org/PIdeals.jpg Jim Peterson, God of agate and all things sports, is one the funniest, smartest and talented people on the planet.

    Page designer, Newsday, New York

    I know Newsday paid for relocation a couple of years ago, so if it's true they no longer do this it's a recent policy change. I've worked for a handful of papers at desk jobs and all of them have included no-frills relocation packages in the job offer. With newspaper budgets as they are, it...

    Sports copy editor/designer, Tacoma News Tribune

    This job may already be filled, but Tacoma still needs defending. I lived there for a few years in the late eighties, and there are parts of it that were wonderful even then; the whole North End is filled with beautiful old houses on tree-lined streets, and real estate is a fraction of what...

    Huge shakeup at Newsday

    At least for now, the department is in - from all accounts - very capable hands. But with the drastic and ongoing paper-wide changes over the last two years, it's anyone's guess what will happen there next. That's probably true of any paper. On a loosely related note, from...

    Huge shakeup at Newsday

    Rumor verified, yet still no internal announcement at Newsday. This doesn't make sense. Eichenberger is a good person, the section is consistently good, and despite the regular grumblings of journalistic minds, there's not major unrest in the dept. Could it be Eichenberger requested...

    Seattle P.I.

    The Blethen family owns 51% of the Times; McClatchy is the new owner of the other 49%. McClatchy also owns the nearby Tacoma-News Tribune, a beautiful paper with a circulation fast approaching the P-I (correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they're within 10k circ now). Also, a new estate tax has...

    Seattle P.I. Night Sports Editor

    I don't think any paper at this point can guarantee economic health in the future, and it would be unreasonable to ask them to do so. What I'm saying is to get the job responsibilities in writing, since those can have a tendency to shift once a person's on board. Again, this isn't specific to...

    Seattle P.I. Night Sports Editor

    This is sadly becoming more of a necessity in general in the business, but make sure you get all of your job responsibilities, rights and perks in writing, signed, before you take the job.
