Sports Editor

I think dan got his blog and twitter feed mixed up ...

 

[Walter Burns]

I have a feeling that this was not of his own accord. Although the blog page is still there, if you go looking toward his blog's home page, you get a file not found page.

I am yet to see this posted publicly, but it is my understanding that it was indeed not of his own accord and he was 'terminated' early this week.

Good chance someone on here let him know his job was posted and they had it out. Hopefully Dan finds something else. Met him at the state wrestling tourney and he seemed like an OK guy.

Yes, it's the Sandusky Register. Hardly a "resort" town, other than Cedar Point is there. This would be a decent job for the right candidate. They let their SE go this past week. It's around 25,000 circulation and I think they have 3 guys in sports, including the SE.

Seems like a great place to work

Yeah, they posted this weeks before they let the new SE go, who was on the job five months. Nice huh? They were just fishing before letting him go, it's Dan Gilles so I gues if you know him, you can ask him about the place.

This is a ****hole paper, DO NOT apply. I think a staffer is running things right now. Worst management I've ever seen.

Repeat, RUN away from this. No one is that desperate.

Are we sure that it is Sandusky? This is from the ad:
"Our revered sports editor plans to retire as soon as we find the right person to fill his big shoes. The right candidate will savor the challenges and the opportunities that exist in a changing industry. "

 

[Bob Slydell]

It's definitely Sandusky. Trust me.

And he didn't retire, he left after 22 years of crap from management.

 

[BigSleeper]

Oh Sandusky's a resort town. Cedar Point goes under the whole town goes under. And that's when the whores come in.

Sandusky and *****.

That's a horrible image.

Also, be sure to check out our sports Web site, fandy.com, and be prepared to offer some solid feedback on this effort.

I liked that line the best -- especially since at the top, it lists the Web site as fany.com.

Here's some solid feedback: Hire a copy editor or two!

Well at least there's some upside potential.

Again, do not apply for this. Or at least, don't accept.

That bad?

What about us recent college grads. Sure I don't have three years behind a desk but I'm hungry (/food) for a chance to run the ship.

On a scale of desperateness, how desperate should I be before I apply? a 10?

I work for a newspaper near Sandusky. I happen to know The Register has been sued in the recent past for not paying staffers overtime that they worked. Plus, this newspaper has had staffers who have made relatively major negative news inside the community, and they failed to report it.

I would eat my own ass before going there. That enough?

And yes, the were found to be in violation of overtime rles by the NLRB in 2005. It was going on for years.

Sadly, at this point that's old news. There's far fresher ****-ups in Sandusky.

A little over a year ago, a dude got arrested for, well, ****ing the umbrella hole of his picnic table on his back porch. He was an editor at the Register.

And the county prosecutor just sued the paper for libel.
