    Sports page designer/reporter, Martinsville, Va.

    Strangely enough, I just got an e-mail from an SE in Indiana saying he was hesitant to bring me out from DC/MD/VA to interview because he couldn't guarantee I'd get the job. I proposed a preliminary phone/Skype/webcam interview and am waiting to hear back.

    Job hunt questions for upcoming grads

    I'm a recent graduate as well, and jobless, so take this for what it's worth, but I think the ~20k circulation should be about right. With that said, you should also apply to a ton of places out of your league (~40k) and a ton of places that you think are below you (~10k and lower). Make sure...

    Well, then which chains are doing the worst?

    What newspaper corporations ARE doing well?

    Every job posting I hear "avoid (Gannett, Media General, CNHI, etc.)," and I know the biz isn't doing well... but surely, not ALL of the big owners are in the tank right now, right? Are any corporations doing well? Or at least, not to the point where they should be avoided? ???

    Must-bookmark journalism sites?

    Tell me about it. I consider myself a grammar buff (at least, among my friends) and I got punished on some of those tests.

    Must-bookmark journalism sites?

    Obviously SportsJournalists.com is atop the list. As for someone looking for a job, MediaBistro.com, JournalismJobs.com, APSE's Job Bank (http://apse.dallasnews.com/job_board/apse_job_board.html) and Poynter's Career Center (http://careers.poynter.org/search/results/) are must-haves...

    Sports Writing Opening at The Evening Sun

    Job sounds pretty good for a recent college grad (like me) who is looking for a first job. Plus, Hanover is only 50 miles away from Baltimore, which means I would be close to College Park.

    I just took a look at their Wiki page and it seems that the poverty rate is 10.1% for the population, FWIW. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logansport,_Indiana

    Writing at a daily vs. writing at a weekly

    Also want to make sure I'm not stepping on any toes here. I've worked at a weekly with some of the most talented writers I've been around, so I'm not trying to raise my nose to that option. I'm just wondering how smoothly the transition is in regards to getting hired, etc. after working at a...

    Writing at a daily vs. writing at a weekly

    What's the difference between working at a daily versus working at a weekly? I've interned at a weekly before and worked for some websites where content went up daily, but I'm wondering what the difference is in regards to moving up the circulation chain. Which looks better on a resume, a...
