ASE, Salt Lake Tribune

[Idaho]

Also an opening for a sports designer
http://apse.dallasnews.com/job_board/2006/1981.html

Salt Lake Tribune is seeking an experienced editor to lead its sports copy desk.

Leadership is the premium skill here; word and design specialists both will be considered. The ideal candidate will be able to work in a highly collaborative environment that extends beyond Sports, can teach, is comfortable running the entire department when necessary and knows how and when to take charge.

The Tribune, Utah's leading newspaper and a Daily/Sunday Top 10 section, is a great place to work: it has a new building, a new printing facility, an aggressive Web operation and is among the few newspapers with a growing print circulation.

To apply, send an appropriate hard-copy portfolio to:

Michael Anastasi
Managing Editor/Sports, Features and Copy Desks
The Salt Lake Tribune
90 South 400 West
Salt Lake City, UT 84101

PM me for more information on the town, the paper and the job.

Would you report to Anastasi or Jon Clifford for this one?

 

[Idaho]

Would you report to Anastasi or Jon Clifford for this one?

Yes.

My guess is the designer job only has to report to Clifford. The ASE job will get both of them, but methinks it will be primarily Clifford as the main person, but with Anastasi weighing in heavily when he doesn't like a design element.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Any movement on this job?

 

[Tom Petty]

do you still have to live in utah after landing this job? ...

yeah?

well, nevermind.

 

[zman82]

not that i'mapplying, but i've heard outside of the weird ass drinking laws SLC isn't a bad place to be.

A little birdie I spoke to (you folks didn't know I spoke Sparrow, did you?) yesterday informed me it's actually just one position. Two were adverstised in case the ASE job was filled with an internal promotion.

A highly qualified candidate from Dixie was in town to interview for the ASE job in the last few days and he appears to be the leading candidate.

And, though I'm not a drinker, no one ever has a hard time getting a drink in Utah.

I would have thought the Tribune had a higher circulation than that.

 

[Idaho]

I would have thought the Tribune had a higher circulation than that.

I'd think so, too. But there are a lot of non-newspaper readers in this and neighboring states. Also, considering the population is not real high (only about 1 million in the real circulationn footprint) and the per-household population is higher here than anywhere else and I guess the number can be explained that way. And, unlike some other similar sized 'metro' areas, there is a smaller competing daily that sucks away many of the subscribers.

Trib seems to be doing some really good things right now, though. They were stuck in an ugly rut for a long time.

Quick question:
Is working at the sweatshop in Woodland Hills a requirement to be considered for this position?

 

[Idaho]

Surprisingly, no. My source told me the leading candidate had no connection.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Surprisingly, no. My source told me the leading candidate had no connection.

Is it the guy from the South as you posted earlier on this page or is it an in-house candidate?

 

[Idaho]

Good catch. I was told there are two 'leading' candidates. The dude from the south being 1a and an in-house guy being 1b depending on 1a's interview and/or interest in moving to Salt Lake City with his family.

Could this be a guy from the Atlanta Journal? If it is, he is a former Woodland Hills sweatshop worker.

 

[MileHigh]

Didn't he just go to Atlanta not too long ago? Or perhaps I'm thinking of someone else?

It appears Jon Clifford made a good move as Lean Dean strikes again:

20 layoffs, including the publisher, at the L.A. Daily News. Still no sports editor there, and probably one not coming anytime soon.

My source says three people from sports were among the cuts.

 

[rpmmutant]

Three sports guys were cut from LADN. One copy editor, one sportswriter and one ASE. Maybe Clifford and Anastasi can give the ASE a call and give him a job in Utah
