LinkedIn post is a couple weeks old. With the season officially starting next week I wonder how fast they've moved along in hiring someone, or if they're taking their time. I'm sure they have folks already on staff that can help out in the interim if they're not in a huge rush.

I'm a few months removed from BH Media, but it seems like they've followed in the footsteps of other newspaper companies over the last year or two in making personnel shifts and layoffs recently. But from what I can tell the rest of the sports staff is in tact. A handful of full-time reporters...

When I was there from 2012-2014 I made $10 an hour. But before I left the newsroom union negotiated a pay raise for that particular job. I think it was upped to close to $12 an hour or something like that. But given that it's part-time you'd still likely need to find something to do during the...

You'll work as part of a team of four part-timers mainly taking scores and preparing the high school roundups. You'll get your own high school beat to cover as well. During college football, basketball and baseball season you'll compile statewide roundups in addition to your high school duties...

I wouldn't say I'm necessarily getting out of the business, but I'm getting out of the traditional newspaper business. I start a new job as Digital Editor of a weekly legal publication next week. Definitely getting a nice bump in pay, no longer an hourly employee too. I have my reservations...

The Danville Register & Bee in Danville, Va. is looking for a stringer in the Charlotte area to cover the George Washington (Va.) at Vance game on Friday night. We're looking for 400-550 words and a box score. Pay is negotiable. Anyone interested should contact me at jbondurant@registerbee.com...

Sooner or later they're going to have to give raises only because the wage they're paying now won't be sustainable enough to avoid living in poverty. I'm lucky I found a two-bedroom apartment for $550 a month in a good part of town. But no young journalist either still relatively new to the...

Believe me, I know the Richmond Times-Dispatch (another BH Paper) has a newsroom union that worked out raises and benefits with the company two years ago. I wish we could have unionized. I threw it out there before. Can you unionize with just seven people though?

The process for uploading video is cooky. You have to upload the video to a separate site to process then upload the processed video to the website. The site needed to process the video has an app only available for iPhone. So when you're needed to file video remotely it adds some steps to the...

The Danville Register & Bee, a BH Media paper in Danville, Va., is looking to fill an immediate opening for a sports reporter. This is to replace Evan Slavit, who took a position in New Jersey. Sports Reporter - Danville, Virginia, United States - BH Media More about the job: This is a...

Yup, it's been filled. Jim shared the news on Twitter day before last.

This has to be trolling.

I work at a daily with a circulation just south of 15,000. The company that owns us is on a big video kick and is really pushing for us to incorporate video into our coverage as much as possible. Right now my co-worker and I do a "Weekly" video show, sometimes we'll go two or three weeks in...

The Bulletin was acquired by BH Media in the last three months. Having spent the first three years of my career working both part-time and full-time for two different BH papers, I really don't have any complaints. The folks in Martinsville are good people, and now that they're under the same...
