Did CCaple leave? I guess the SE doesn't get much input.

 

I did indeed. Feel free to PM for anything you'd like to know about the position/paper.

 

Are they looking local or taking anyone?

 

It says reporter and page layout editor -- how much getting out and covering is there in this gig, or is it a desk job where the covering PAC10 and WAC is catching incoming calls?

Are they willing to look beyond borders, except beyond borders being the one that runs along the 49th parallel? I promise to drop the Canadian accent, eh.

 

That was fast. Hopefully you found something else.

I don't think a small daily is going to shell out money for a Canadian when there are a lot of Americans who don't want to get paid a lot. It's up to our friends up north to get a visa on their own.

Don't think you get to travel with this gig. You're covering preps as well.

 

Believe me there wasn't much holding of the breath. Although the interest is genuine.

 

I think this paper was my first-ever interview. Fresh out of college, I wrote a kick-ass cover letter then bombed in the interview over the phone. Always wondered how things would have turned out if what I knew now I knew then.

 

Wasn't this just open over the summer?

 

Yep. PM CCaple for details.

 

Appears this one has been filled: http://www.sportsjournalists.com/forum/posts/2953183/
