sounds boring.

Oh gee, this won't get a single sniff. (Forgot to turn on the blue font.)

Thanks so much for posting, Tim. Good luck to those who apply.

 

[mediaguy]

Does this take the place of Tania Ganguli's old job? Can't imagine them adding a position when there are two pressing vacancies on the staff -- if anything, seems they're likely to fill just one of them.

 

[SEC Guy]

If they replace Adelson, the perfect person would be Alan Schmadke (sp?), who I think is working for online at the Sentinel. He knows college football as well as anyone and would be perfect to take over the blog.

 

[Tim Stephens]

Alan is the online content editor. He still contributes to the college blog whenever he wishes to or has time.

Columnist George Diaz is going to pick up NASCAR for the 6-8 races we cover annually. He previously covered auto racing.

We are seeking a multimedia reporter to contribute to the Magic blog and other duties, including help with the Daytona races. No regular NASCAR duties, though.

Is this for an experienced reporter or new to the business? Any salary range?

 

[MU_was_not_so_hard]

Massive endorsement from this former employee of Tim. Jump on this bad boy, if you haven't already.

 

[Tim Stephens]

Bump. If you want to get in on this one, better hurry.
To those who have sent your stuff, thanks.

 

[WerenCole]

Is there any time table Tim?

 

[Tim Stephens]

As soon as possible as this reporter will have a role in college football coverage too.

 

[StephLauren]

Any news on the hiring process? Anyone hear anything yet?

 

[Moderator1]

Well Steph - the SE just posted above yours, and he has a track record of keeping us updated here. So you'll know pretty quickly. Tim doesn't b.s. around, he moves quickly and keeps people informed.

 

[StephLauren]

Thanks, Mod. Figured that out two seconds after I posted, but never got around to deleting.

Shouldn't have jumped the gun

 

[Moderator1]

No worries.

 

[Tim Stephens]

Update: Still evaluating resumes. There are multiple openings at the Sentinel.

 

[Cheng Sio]

Mr. Stephens,

What other openings are there on your staff? Thanks.

 

[Tim Stephens]

Not approved to fill them yet. Will post when appropriate.

 

[Moderator1]

This one is done, still gathering details, Tim may be able to provide before The Pipeline delivers.

Zach McCann, a part-timer for us the past five years, has been promoted to multimedia reporter. Thanks to those who applied.
