Does anyone know much about Ogden? All I know about the company is that it's based somewhere in Virginia and owns a number of mostly-small newspapers. I tried doing a search on it but can't find much information about it. Does anyone here work at a paper owned by Ogden?
 
It's a railroad town north of Salt Lake City. Home of Weeeber State University's Big Sky Champion Wildcats.

And the site of 2002 Olympic Curling!
And the home of the Can't Sleep Inn next to the truck stop.
I oughtta know, I spent a glorious 28 nights there during curling.
 
and a poet:

The ant has made himself illustrious
Through constant industry industrious.
So what?
Would you be calm and placid
If you were full of formic acid?
 
They're based in West Virginia, not Virginia. If you're looking to work for them, you should probably get the geography right.

They mostly own smaller papers, under 20,000 circulation, so they give a lot of journalists their start. If you work for them, you'll put in a lot of hours and be compensated with pay and benefits that are adequate at best.

how often does that patroit allow his balls to be fondled from behind, even though he's a center?
 
coming from a ****wad who still uses under and over instead of more and less, yes, thanks for pointing out my spelling error.
 
The method of Ogden seems to be to keep a few decently paid veterans on staff to steady the ship and run the younger, less-paid crowd through the revolving door.
 
A ****wad? Wow, you must be one of my friends to know me that well.

My error noted. It's not a common mistake of mine, but I let down my guard in the morning.
 
Ogden is not a chain at which you'd want to jump aboard blindly. Its a cheap ownership operation, much like most of them out there. Some papers are better than others. The Altoona Mirror is Pennsylvania's strongest Ogden publication, and it's also rewarded as such. Remember this: The same people who run Ogden also hold down the fort for the Pittsburgh Pirates. ... Think about it.

But, every one needs to start somewhere, I suppose.
