Description:
The Brattleboro Reformer needs an energetic sports editor to start immediately. Local candidates are preferred.

Our emphasis is local -- and we cover a half-dozen high schools as well nationally ranked alpine and cross-country skiers and snowboarders. The sports editor should have strong writing skills with a good grasp of grammar and style usage, be able to paginate with Quark, take photos and plan coverage. We have a two-person department and several stringers. The sports editor also is encouraged to write a column and blog. This job is perfect for someone looking to make the jump to a daily paper or a reporter who thinks he or she can run the ship.

Brattleboro is the hub of southeastern Vermont and a community of lively, intellectual and committed residents. Nearby hiking, the Connecticut River and three fabulous ski resorts make this a superb place to live and work.

Great town. Great people working there, too.

My best friend and his heterosexual life partner moved there recently. He loves the town. Course he's a stoner/hippie, so take that for what it's worth.

Might be the artsiest little town in Green Mountains.

tell him locals are preferred ... i don't think there's a UA, either.

If Rhode Island's not local enough...too bad. My wife went to a professional conference there a few months ago and fell in love with the place. She's in a field where getting a job is much easier than in our business.

Can't get naked in Brattleboro anymore. It's kinda sad, actually.

Read any of Archer Mayor's novels if you're interested in Brattleboro. Having once lived near there, he captures that region and every town in it perfectly.

local-lovin' bastards.

It's funny how many papers do that: Post nationally, then just hire from within because it's the easiest thing to do. And this is nothing against Patrick Crowley. I don't know him personally, but I'm sure he'll do a fine job. Seems to me, though, the easy thing is if you have an in-house candidate, why post nationally?

 

[Sportswriter2327]

Oh and before people jump on my statement about posting "nationally" - especially considering the Ad says "local candidates preferred" those of us in New England are often considered local, but perhaps the Reformers version of local meant "five desks away."
