Sports Editor — Grants Pass (Ore.) Daily Courier

This listing doesn't tell you much about the job, except the pay.
There are actually two sports openings right now, an editor and a reporter. I'm the outgoing sports editor.
In addition to seven high schools, Grants Pass Downs is the only commercial horse racing facility in the state. The paper also covers boat racing and Grants Pass typically hosts the state BMX championships.
This paper is hyper-local, though the readership is closer to retirement age, so daily MLB boxes still run.

Message me and I'll answer any questions.

I got some supplies there on the way to Crater Lake in June and stopped by a Taco Bell for a quick bite.

How far does 34K go there? I want to say Taco Bell was advertising job openings with a $16 minimum wage, which by my math puts you in the ballpark of this position.

Looks like a beautiful area to live in, though, and being that close to Crater Lake is a big plus in my book.

 

Not to be morbid, but that paper has had some really bad luck in recent years on its sports staff.

 

Sonuvabitch! I think he just told us to EAD.

RIP, tom petty

 

Rent is about $1,200-$1,300 for a two-bedroom apartment … if you can find one to rent. Last check, there were fewer than five units available in town. Gas is above $3.50.

 

Grew up in the Rogue Valley -- nice (somewhat isolated) setting, very livable weather, just enough commerce, lots of outdoorsy options. Gotten crazy expensive in the last 10-15 years, and this pay banks on living on the scenery. Main high school in G Pass is the Cavemen.

 

Hell, this pay banks on living in the scenery — in a van down by the river.
