Northern Illinois Univ. beat writer in DeKalb, Ill.

I'm guessing this opening is on the back burner in DeKalb for the foreseeable future.

I heard from the grapevine that's someone has been hired.

You are right, sir. They got a good one, too. It's John Sahly, an MU alum and (now former) reporter for the Aurora Beacon-News.

Good hire.

 

[Jeremy Goodwin]

Good hire, indeed. John is good people and will do well there.

Congrats to John, and more importantly, best wishes to those at the paper. They're sure to be going through some long days right now, though, of course, that pales in comparison to the suffering of others in this situation.

Another congrats to John. He's a great guy and a stud reporter.
