OK, let's rock and roll here.

The News Virginian, a small award-winning daily in the heart of Virginia has an opening in our two-and-a-half person sports department.

We cover straight preps and some pagination is involved (usually twice a week).

Pay is what you expect, but we're on our way up. Won our first APSE ever this past year and have no intentions of that being our last. We have a blast whilst covering preps with all the gusto that major metros cover MLB, NFL and so on. Did I mention we have tons of fun here?

PM me for specifics.

Looking forward to seeing some of your resumes.
 
i guess listing contact information on here is totally out of the question. Afterall, it is a jobs board.
 
As I said the last time - Moddy Seal. Great spot to get yourself rolling.

And grifter, no need to be a smart ass. Maybe he wants to see if you are smart enough to figure out where to look?
 
Two and a half? You guys got yourself Matt Roloff taking prep calls down there or what?
 
Nah, just some in-house moving that will help all aspects of the paper in the long haul.

I believe a part-time position is usually counted as half since it's generally 20 hours a week.
 
Not too familiar with the paper, but I know they cover the tar out of the local preps in the Waynesboro region. If anything local makes the state tournament, expect balls-to-the-wall coverage.

Rents in Waynesboro are reasonable, it's close to Charlottesville and there's a Starbucks. Staunton, which is also close by, has decent restaurants.
 
Not the biggest fan of the paper's former ME, but I like the section, from what I've seen.
 
I was worried this might be Martinsville again. Not a bad place to get a start.
 
What are the qualifications? Number/type of clips? E-mail, links or hard copies? Not including official contact name and information, seeing if an applicant can find it, is pretty weak.

People, how hard is it?
 
Um, Editude, all you (or someone) has to do is "PM me" just like it says in the original message and just like a few people already have. I hope that helps you find your way. :)
 
Nobody.
Just moving a few things around and finally got the "go-ahead."

Thanks to everybody who figured out what "PM me" meant and have sent resumes. Keep them coming, please.
