Flagstaff is a great town! I'm sure with the size of the staff and paper, the pay can't be great..

 

[93Devil]

That is a hell of a town.

NAU girls are very friendly if I remember correctly.

Phoenix two hours south and snow skiing in your back yard.

I know you can say "beware (insert newspaper company name)" on pretty much every job thread these days, but it bears mentioning that Lee has been a real piece of work lately.

Bingo!

This is a Lee paper, stay far away.

The only thing I can tell you about Flagstaff is the gals are easy. Very easy.

I spent a weekend in the town a few years back and my brother scored with this chick we nicknamed "The Llama."

I was sleeping on the floor in the living room and heard a commotion in the morning. Llama said this to my brother: "You promised me I would be home by 10 a.m."

My brother's famous retort: "You'll make it home in time if you start walking now."

You got it, Llama began walking home and my brother went back to bed.

Wow, your brother seems like a real cool guy. :

How do you apply for this job?

 

[reporter1]

you know what they say, those who talk about it...

apparently reading the first post on the thread is a good place to start

my brother was going to school there, that was the reason for the visit

and he and Llama were both drunk off their collective rectums

but the story lives on and his now wife would die if I ever told her

so if you really want to work at this sweatshop with no cash in your pocket, at least you know you might score with the coeds there since the on-campus word is "humping is an intramural sport"

unless you are just out of school, you shouldn't want any part of the gig

Except Lee's site says it's not open, so there isn't a way to apply there.

The position is open July 1.

Whoops.

 

[Hank_Scorpio]

They probably are starting the application process early, so there isn't much time with just one reporter running the whole show.


As far as applying, I'm sure the newspaper has an address. Most reporters know how to look up an address too.

Wait until Monday or Tuesday

I lived in Flagstaff for six years and spent three of them at this paper. Anyone who wants whatever bit of knowledge I can offer, let me know via PM. There are also a couple of other AZDS vets on the board who I'm sure will weigh in here.

The pay might suck, but sounds like the, um, benefits aren't too shabby.

Why in hell does a 60,000 town have a newspaper that is only 11k? Bunch of illiterates?

 

[Kmac7]

perhaps they read their news online for free

 

[SF_Express]

It's too late for me, considering my current financial obligations (family and creditors) and the fact I like this job, but a part of me would love, for the last 10-15 years of my career, to go back to the basics and work as a do-it-all writer/editor at a small-town paper.
