Was my first thought, but selfish to take it for myself, I felt.

(Did wander to their Web site and seems to be a bit going on there sports-wise.)

Ain't no party like a Scranton party, I'm told.

If the receptionist is anything like Pam, I'll bite. :)

Seriously, it's a good read from what I've seen. Good luck to those who apply.

On a serious note, doesn't this paper have a sister paper? I wonder what the rules are for working with them, using their material, staff, etc. are?

Not anymore. The Times and Tribune are now one.

I don't care if that's the receptionist, the editor, whoever. She's definitely someone I'd wanna work with. And if she had any sisters, I'd probably be willing to work with them, too.

As mentioned, the Times and Tribune are one, but the ownership is putting together a little monopoly on NE Pa papers. They own the Citizens Voice in neighboring Wilkes-Barre (competes with the former Knight Ridder Times-Leader), the Hazleton Standard-Speaker, Pottsville Republican, Shamokin News-Item, some weeklies and I am probably missing some others.

There is a great little blog for Northeast Pa. media, which has a thread on this job. The comments page is here: https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21128745&postID=6782120293880445458

I was supposed to have an interview for this job when it was initially posted months ago. I had it all set up, and then it fell through for some reason. I don't remember the specifics, but I found out a day or two before the actual interview that it was cancelled.
I thought the SE was going to set up another interview, but I never heard from her again.
Needless to say, the job was posted a few weeks ago, again.
