Anybody know anything about this paper?

 

Interviewed with Lanier a few years ago. Seems like a nice guy, albeit kinda interesting. You don't find many southeners plopped down in New England. Their office is about a block off the main drag in Keene. You're definitely in Red Sox country up there.

 

Don't know anything about the paper now, but roughly 10 years ago, it was considered an excellent stepping stone to major big-city papers. And judging from what the ad says, it may still be.

 

I think I'll be applying purely based on my name. Wish me luck...

 

you'll own that newspaper.

 

Which may or may not be a good thing.

 

The position's been filled.
