University of Kentucky beat, Louisville, KY

It's a stretch to call it an exlcusive. Good reporting? Yes. But it's from a fan-friendly event near Louisville that I don't think the Hearld-Leader covered.

The bigger news from UK land was the dismissal of Bo Smith, which both papers had.

 

Note the job listing came from Journalismnext.com ... that should say a lot about their priority with this job.

Yeah, what a bunch of assholes.

 

is this a Gannett paper?

 

Yes.

 

I know of quite a few young guys (20s-30s) at major papers just waiting their turn who could whip ass at this beat.

 

Would the writer live in Lexington or Louisville?

 

If this Kentucky hoops beat guy is so good, why is he still in Kentucky?

 

If this Hal McCoy guy is so good, why is he still in Dayton?

 

That's like the most retarded thing posted here in weeks. Or months. Goodness.

 

I wasn't trying to be a jerk about it, so sorry if it came across that way. A lot of times, ads will pop up on journalismnext before they hit JJobs or APSE, meaning a desire to diversify (and there ain't a damn thing wrong with that). I have no idea if this will be a slotted hire or not, but sometimes that can be a red flag if you're a white male looking at a job. Carry on.

 

Wow.
