An ad won't be posted for a few days, but I was just told that my ASE and Outdoors writer will be leaving at the end of July. If you know anyone who wants to work in Southern California, please contact me. The Antelope Valley Press is a 30k daily in north LA county. Unlike a lot of papers, we're family owned, which means we don't pay the greatest, but it also means I haven't had a staff reduction. I'm looking for two people ASAP. email [email protected] for more info.
 
Are you looking for an ASE and an outdoors writer or an ASE/outdoors writer and another spot?
 
Heavy churn in Palmdale, which also is one of the leading foreclosure regions in the country. Good chance to see windy minor-league baseball and accidents on the non-freeway freeway east of town.
 
It's pretty clear he is looking to fill two separate positions -- an Assistant Sports Editor and an Outdoors Writer. Don't make it more complicated than it has to be.
 
As an alum and a resident of the "leading foreclosure regions in the country," I've posted many times on life here. So time and tedium will preclude me from doing so again.

There are far worse places to live and far worse papers to work for, which many of you know from personal experience. And Robert's a good guy who worked his way up through some turbulent times in that department.

And Edit, they're finally widening the 138 in both directions. Work in progress, but it will make your non-freeway freeway a lot safer.
 
Bird, just curious since this was brought up and you didn't expand on it. Would you give me some insight into life and cost of living in that region. I've almost gone to Cali a couple times but the cost of living makes it impossible for me.

Sorry Huckleberry, but at some shops the ASE is the Outdoors writer, that's why I asked for a clarification.
 
Antelope Valley in Lancaster may be consider an outpost to some but it's a nice area to learn the craft. It gets the coveted boots sign of approval.

Lancaster? Pa?
Isn't this job in California?
Lancaster Calfornia smart guy. Look it up. I'm sure you 're doing that as you read this.
 
Lancaster and Palmdale, which is the paper's mailing address, is about 8 miles apart.
 
is/are/whatever - I'm just glad to have learned something from this dangerous site today. Did not know California had a Lancaster.
Hell, I can go home now! Usually don't learn much before 6.

Doesn't have the Amish though.
 
<----- My man Frank says there used to be a lot of turkey farmers out Palmdale way. Wonder if there still are?

I'm glad that you learned something, it just shows that you're not as old as you look or feel. It's a good paper.
 
Oh I'm old as I look and not as old as I feel. But I can still learn a few things.
Also a Lancaster in Ohio is there not?

Yes and I believe there are a couple of others.
 
I applied for a job here a while ago back in February for an open position. It turned out to be a part-time writing position where I would only get 25 hours a week or so. The pay was going to force me to live under a palm tree and it was not feasible for me to move across the country for that low pay. This job seems full-time so maybe the pay would be better and then the living conditions would not be as I expected. The editor seems friendly, so that is a plus.
 
You can go to Lancaster PA or OH a lot cheaper.
Of course, they may not have a job open. Or even papers.
