Already had an interview for this job ... a week before it was posted on journalismjobs.com. I guess that means I'm out of the running.

 

Never worked there but am familiar with the region. Nice little town, not far up the road from another opening being advertised at the moment in Portland. Definitely a slow pace of life and can't imagine this pays all that well.
Nearest major (or mid-major) city is Fort Wayne, 20 or so miles up U.S. 27/33. 2 1/2 hours from Indy and 3 1/2 hours from Chicago, depending on traffic.
