It's only 15 minutes to Tahoe.

I wonder how many on the board will get that reference.

Dammit, I could work for the... oh, wrong inside joke. Sorry.

 

[FreddiePatek]

This pretty much has to be this board's favorite newspaper, yes?

 

[DanOregon]

You know what I really like about the posting? It's honesty. How many listings actually say you will be covering Little League games?

It's only 15 minutes to Tahoe.

15 minutes from everywhere.

It's a contender, along with the Trentonian, Martinsville, Roswell ...

The name of the paper is the Tahoe Daily Tribune, but the ad says it comes out three times a week. Que?

I noticed the same thing. Even went back to double-check to make sure I was referring to the same paper. Maybe they were a daily back in the day when the weeks were only three days long.

I could be wrong, but I believe when I interviewed for this position before I was told it's now a free tab. Don't know what pay will be, but hard to beat the scenery living in SLT.

I work for this chain. If you want information, please let me know

Covering skiing and snow sports would actually be sort of fun.

 

[SoccerFan]

Know a lot about this gig. PM if interested.

 

[alexshoemaker]

Anyone know if they ever hired someone? I was told I was still being considered for the job awhile back... I assume the obvious.

You get the job if you can be there in 15 minutes.

I work in the chain and can tell you more. The paper is three times a week. Friday night football would be on-line only because of the early weekend deadline. Winters can be rugged. On the plus side, there are 3-4 teams that Tahoe plays that are covered by sister papers
