Boston Bruins Reporter, New Media, NESN -- Boston, MA

Globe guys for me, too. Among beat writers hockey or otherwise, Fluto is top percentile -- fair, prolific, smooth writer. Dupont is a true stylist and a great guy (disclaimer: both mentored young JD). Murph is pretty offbeat, but he's a good guy and well-sourced. ESPNBoston made a great hire in MacDonald (ex-ProJo) and they have Kalman chipping in, too. I don't check in with the Herald, CSNNE or 'EEI.

Curious, for anyone who applied: Did you send in a reel? I don't have one, but I'm going to cobble together what I can. Saw that the gig involves TV work (Murph, a radio guy, was on NESN programming quite often).

 

Looks like Murph did indeed land on his feet...at ESPNBoston

I saw that this job is no longer posted on NESN. Does anyone know if they filled the position?

 

Adam Kaufman has written a lot about the Bruins lately. I'd guess it's him, although I could be wrong.

 

Nope ... it's my pal Doug Flynn ... great guy, great reporter ....

 

Great for Doug. We have worked on the Bruins beat together before. Good guy, knows his stuff.

 

I second that. Doug is a hockey encyclopedia, and a great reporter.

 

And for an Ivy Leaguer, kinda down to Earth, too ....

 

I used to work with Doug. Great guy. Good for him.
