Sports Editor, Bozeman Daily Chronicle [Bozeman, Montana]

you humble sonuvabitch.

 

When I was there it was a five-man staff plus a part-timer or two. The editor wrote, but there are some talented writers there if someone wanted to just paginate. It was a good paper to work for, and although it's undergone a lot of change, there are still a lot of friendly and familiar faces.

 

one last bump. anyone? anything?

 

After interviewing with the paper (a place I once worked at), I was told this week by the ME that they weren't going to fill the position.

I took that to mean they were going to promote someone from within and go a body down in sports.

When I was there two years ago, this was a growing paper, seemingly immune to the problems of everywhere else. It saddens me that they, too, are feeling the crunch.

 

i was so curious about this job because i had a friend who interviewed. he heard the same thing this week.

he guessed, too, that they were forced to promote from within and left a spot open. i know he was saddened by it, not because he didn't get the job, but because one of the growing, good and seemingly stable papers made that decision.

 

fucking industry ... glug, glug

 

It's in a breakdown, which means good people are being pushed into the great wide open. But even the losers get lucky sometimes; those folks are learning to fly and will be runnin' down a dream soon enough.

 

This sucks, but a silver lining (maybe) is if things turn around some in Bozeman the position might be filled in the future.

What a nice area with so much to do.

 

and maybe catholics will stop being oppressive.
