Sports Writer, Palm Springs, Calif.

tough crowd...

 

that seems to be the strategy eveywhere these days

 

Any news on this job?

 

I heard they were looking for a guy who brings "it," instead of just singing "it."

 

This job sounds so sweet, I think everyone should apply for it.

 

We all have. We're all ... hired!

 

any updates on this one?

 

I wonder if this one slipped into the Gannett ether.

 

This is way, way off for a sportswriter opening, but this paper has been a stepping stone for a number of Gannett employees who are now very high on the food chain (EICs, VPs, etc.).

Summers there are boring and hot, and then the wind shifts and you smell the fishkill from the Salton Sea. But, hey, there's no shortage of casinos and nice restaurants.

 

How do you get from Palm Springs to the beach in 90 minutes?

By driving, I mean.

 

So, after nearly a year, has this job not been filled yet?

 

I was surprised in regards to the size and quality of this paper when I was in Palm Springs not to long ago. They have one kick ass sports department specially for Prep Football.
