Sports Editor, Bozeman Daily Chronicle [Bozeman, Montana]

You lived in Montana? Thought not.

Housing is high, extremely high, in places like Bozeman, but hey it's not as high as in Boston, so quit whining. : : :

 

Well, Michael, the job is open. Go for it.

This is just one source, of course, but it's not as if Bozeman is Hooterville in terms of housing prices:

Yeah, Michael, have some knowledge of a situation, maybe, before coming down on all of us picky sportswriters/editors/designers/whatever.
The cost of living in Bozeman is, in fact, incredibly high. Pretty sure I saw something about the housing market ther ein USA Today not all that long ago, even ...

 

think the SE at the globe makes $45k a year?

 

It might not be that bad for an MLB fan. If you're that far away from any market, that could mean no blacked-out games on your Extra Innings package.

I've been to Bozeman a couple times for family reunions, and I'd echo everything Mr. Welsch said about the town. If they promote from within, I'd definitely have my clips en route (assuming they fill the spot, of course).

 

Can someone please answer the Cnockaert question?
I worked with Jim for a decade at the Ann Arbor News, and I'm worried.

Thanks

 

I've heard Cnockeart didn't walk away on his own. To put it plainly, I believe he was let go. I couldn't tell you anything about a reason why, but it's sure a shame to see. He's a great sports editor and an even better guy.

You can only hope he lands on his feet somewhere. And despite the high housing costs, I'm willing to bet he stays in Bozeman. It's too great of a place to leave.

 

how can no one know? anyone?

 

I would love this job. And despite the fact that I'm clear across the country and I THINK (knocking on wood) I enjoy a fair amount of job security in a troubled time, this is tempting.

Montana is God's country and it's a growth area. I was fairly impressed with Missoula. Don't know Bozeman, but I hear it's also pretty country.

Portland, Ore. (and slo gin fizz) is ideal for me. But a Montana lifestyle would be nice...

 

Housing in Belgrade isn't as high, is it?

A stunningly beautiful area and sharp paper.

 

any news on this opening?
