Sports designer/copy editor -- The Bellingham (Wash.) Herald

[David Rasbach]

The Bellingham Herald has an immediate opening for a sports copy editor. Experienced journalists with excellent news judgement, editing, design and online skills are encouraged to apply. Our 6-person staff covers 11 area high schools, one college and community sports in a county known for its outdoor activities.

The successful candidate will work with the sports editor and staff in the production of the daily section and online site. We are looking for creative, energetic, detail-oriented candidates who bring innovative ideas into our coverage and presentation.

The Bellingham Herald is a 25,000 circulation, McClatchy daily newspaper serving Bellingham and Whatcom County. The Sports section received two Top 10 APSE section awards earlier this spring, as well as an SPJ writing award.

Whatcom County is located in Northwest Washington along Puget Sound. The area is known for its many recreational sports, including running, biking, skiing and snow boarding.

Interested candidates should send resumes and work samples by May 28 to Sports Editor David Rasbach at [email protected].

There are many better places in the PNW than Bellingham. It is a good paper though, and one of the newer McClatchy additions.

I had a friend visit Bellingham a while back for the first time and she said the people there act like they're in Canada.
They have Canadian TV stations and a lot of people talk with a Canadian accent.
She said she wanted to shake people and tell em they're American, not our neighbors to the north.

David is a good guy, very sincere and committed to making this a nice shop. Just bring your poncho.

Sounds like she should move to Texas. And it's Canadian if you're keeping score at home.

 

[jakewriter82]

Ugh.
Yeah, see in Bellingham they speak Candian. It's almost Canadian but not quite..

I hear someone you know may have the inside track on this job.

Would this be an entry level job? Any idea of the pay?

Nope, I know no one in this industry. I'm just a troll.

 

[David Rasbach]

All candidates will be considered, regardless of previous experience. The pay scale will depend on previous experience and skills.

Thanks for keeping us updated David.

Give this job a good thought. David's good people, he's won APSEs, and he can eat the hell out of pizza. But as far as poker goes, he's an unknown, so caveat operor.
