Pittsburgh Magazine

This job is on journalismjobs.com. But there's no mention of sports unless you click on the job ad, so some who would be qualified might have missed it. I don't personally know anything about the company or the magazine.

Good local magazine with a lot of fluff pieces each month, but that's what you come to expect with a periodical of this nature, I suppose.

A friend of mine from high school works there and seems to enjoy it. I have no idea on the salary, though.

The 'burgh's had a few nice journalism jobs come open the past few weeks. That's good to see for underpaid saps such as myself in western Pennsylvania looking for a change.

I applied, though I have minimal blogging experience.

I'd like to think five years-plus at a daily newspaper would override that, but I'm probably wrong.

 

[Suicide Squeezer]

I applied, too. It's go time, Trey!

The quality of city/regional magazines varies widely (and I don't know Pittsburgh Mag), but the good ones can be great places to work.

It is going to be really tough to land this one because there are plenty of unemployed journalists in Pennsylvania to choose from.....

And that doesn't even count all the people working at the Post-Gazette/Trib/whatever who are looking around and saying, "Oh, ****, I've got to get out of here."
