Had some horrendous flooding back in the day there, IIRC.

Decent paper.

 

Mighty Marion?
Is that like THE Tribune-Star?

 

Any updates on this job?

 

Do not mock THE Tribune-Star, dammit!

I wonder if they promoted to create this opening or if they were in the Pine Bluff situation — they had to hire a whole new staff.

 

Googling showed one of the two full-time writers is now working in Kalamazoo, MI.

For once, I can say I probably have some details/information on the area/paper. PM me if curious.

 

Anyone know the status of this position?
