Copy editor in Reno

[chuck carlson]

We are moving quickly on this so any help you guys can provide would be appreciated...

The Reno Gazette-Journal needs a sports copy editor as soon as possible. We're looking for someone with new ideas and the desire to carry them out. This is mostly a desk position but there are changes in the works on the staff that will also allow for some writing. Another perk: It's four-day, 10-hour shifts. We do require at least three years of newspaper design experience and if you have knowledge of JazzBox and InDesign, that's a plus too. Please send a resume and design samples to Chuck Carlson, Sports Editor, Reno Gazette-Journal, P.O. Box 22000, Reno, NV 89520. Questions? e-mail [email protected].

Folks, this one really is just a few minutes from Tahoe.

And a pretty good place to live and work.

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

 

[Lord_Gordon]

Just watch out for the cops.

Sure. That's what they all say.

Great place to live.

4-day work weeks are heavenly. My time on the desk tells me that once the work starts flowing you wouldn't even notice the extra couple hours.

My organization does a lot of business in Reno so I've spent a lot of time there (25 nights there this year so far). I've met Chuck and he's a good guy. The city is nice once you get away from the downtown district. And if you have a gambling problem, I'd highly suggest you look elsewhere

Why? Are the tables better somewhere else?

 

[Editude]

I actually like the downtown casinos. The river is cleaned up a bit as well. Different time in my life and this gig would be appealing.

What the hell is Jazzbox? I've never heard of that one.

 

[Chi City 81]

I use that at my paper (use it to view the wire/call in stories and photos.) Works pretty well, IMHO.

Can other papers take note of the four-day, 10-hour shifts please? Thanks.

Are you being angry about this? ;D

Even better are the three-day, 11-hour weekend shifts. You work 33 and get paid for 40.

Not at my gaff, sadly.

Anybody have any knowledge of the work environment?

Does it matter? You're only there four days a week.

 

[Brain of J]

This would be a good job, Chuck's a good guy. The guy who left wanted some more writing opportunities I guess, but if you want to get a start copy editing this is a good one. Might be hard if you've got a gambling problem, though. I've lost 30 dollars once, that was enough for me. hehe.

 

[Claws for Concern]

How soon is this expected to be filled?
