An SJ favorite.

I did an SportsJournalists.com search and didn't come up with anything. What's the joke?

At least this time I know what they mean by "award winning."

I thought about posting this, but someone beat me to it. It looks like there are some sports involved. It looks like a beautiful area and housing doesn't look to be that expensive. I'd bet it doesn't pay 30k, though.

As for the joke, the company's benefits are horrendous from what I can tell. And the paper's award-winning tradition is a Pulitzer in 1965.

BTW, the job was open five months ago.
