Excellent AME/Sports there...Tim Wheatley, formerly of Indianapolis.

 

Whoever got his job in Indy?

 

The leadership here is fine, but let's just say that an incoming copy editor would have a chance to shine in an uninspiring editing environment.

 

Lots of plural words going on here. Was there a mass exodus or did corporate folks open up the purse strings for the holidays?

 

It's Tribune, so I doubt the purse strings have opened a lot.

 

Andy, This is an intriguing post. Just wondering what level of experience you're looking for. Are these entry-level spots or open to experienced hands? Can't believe you won't get a lot of response either way, just looking for some guidance.

 

If nothing else -- the six-person enterprise team should make things pretty interesting. My guess is that planning has to be big there.

 

I heard that two copy editors just quit.

 

anyone heard anything more about this one?
