USA Today reporter, editor jobs - NFL, NBA, MLB, college, etc.

where are Morgan and Byrne based?

 

You mean ESPN?

 

Morgan's in LA, along with his "chief of staff."

Byrne's still listed as NY, but maybe she's moving to Tysons?

 

editor or writer?

 

What beat, and are they still taking applications?

 

Which means for the rest of us hoi polloi ... better luck next time. And also, possible openings elsewhere.

 

New on here, because I am scouring for a job to escape the ongoing meltdown that is turning The Times-Picayune into a laughable web site. I would love to get in on any of these jobs at USA Today. I can confirm one editor they are bringing on board, former T-P sports editor David Meeks, who was not only the best SE we ever had, but also stepped up amid the panic after Katrina to lead the news team that stayed in the city in horrible conditions and won two Pulitzer Prizes. He is at the L.A. Times in news, but he knows Morgan from his sports days and after he left New Orleans he worked for Byrne at the AP as one of their regional sports editors. He is very sharp, a great guy who knows how to get it done and is much beloved around here. Morgan and Byrne are not messing around. They are going to attract top people. And a word of warning on any sports jobs you see advertised by the Nola Media Group. These are the people who have been running the horrible web site, which has never been close in quality to the paper. They want writers to do things like watch TV and write stories about what New Orleans athletes say on other outlets. If you want to do real reporting, I'd look carefully before you leap. Most of us still here are trying to leave.
