sports writer, Martinsville

Just a few? Yeah, I guess you're right. No reason to go overboard.
As for the positions, word is they've hired one writer and borrowed one writer and one copy editor from the news side to stop the bleeding. I'm not knocking them at this point. You do what you must to get the paper out. But they were already short on the news side, and my guess is that the entire paper will suffer because it's spread so thin at this point.
Then again, if they can get by with this, they might decide to keep it that way and save a couple bucks.

 

I just hope you have a high number. ;D

 

I'll just get a deferment or five ala Dick Cheney ...

 

This gig just got posted AGAIN on jjobs! Maybe they really can't find anyone.

 

Which company owns this paper?

 

It's locally owned. Apply at your own risk.

 

i've heard good things about this gig. you should apply.

 

I've heard they pay real well too.

 

And we should all be so lucky to have a boss like Ginny Wray.

 

And I defy you to find a more vibrant and beautiful city than Martinsville, Virginia. That place has a bright future, I tell you what.

 

How could all of you forget the buxom, young female population that is just dying to meet a wealthy young sports writer, made so by such a fine company like the Martinsville Bulletin.

 

Come on, guys. Let's use the blue type where the blue type is needed. Lest a newcomer should be unable to distinguish irony from reality.
