Sports Editor, Centralia, Wash.

From Journalismjobs.com

Sports Editor — The Chronicle in Centralia, Wash., is looking for an enthusiastic, aggressive sports editor. The Chronicle values loyalty, ability and a strong work ethic.

We are searching for someone with a passion for prep sports. Because our coverage area includes Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, we value experience covering the great outdoors, from rock climbing to steelhead fishing.

In this new media age, we will be hiring the new journalist for this top management position — someone who has high-end design skills (we use InDesign), is capable of producing multimedia using Final Cut Pro and Soundslides, and is proficient with all aspects of digital photography. Writing, however, remains the most cherished talent.

The Chronicle is a 15,000-circulation daily newspaper located halfway between Portland and Seattle. The paper is a financially healthy, family-owned operation with a commitment to journalism. Please send a cover letter, resume, work samples and references to Executive Editor Michael Wagar at mwagar@chronline.com.

 

FYI, about once a year (the November to January window), the Centralia-Chehalis area gets some crazy flooding, down to I-5 being closed, at least the past two times.

 

Anyone know what happened to the old SE?

 

I enjoy rock climbing, but is it a sport that's covered? Are there boulder races there?

 

Not a bad area, at all. Not far from Ranier. Not far from St. Helens. Not far from Portland. Not far from Olympia.

I'd take it.

Driving around the Olympic Peninsula is one of the memories I'll never forget.

 

It should be noted, though, the area is much different as far as people and politics than the rest of the Northwest. A lot of rednecks in that section of the state.

 

I'd rather live around the rednecks than the pretentious fucks in any of the other cities around there.

 

Northwest rednecks aren't the same as Dixie rednecks, though.

 

Ok I'll bite. What's the difference?

 

Is that really that bad? The guy was probably just awkwardly saying congrats ... no one is suggesting he urged the kid to sign at Nowhere State before he made his, correct?
