that's no fun.

The STATS pass (biz.stats.com) that has an incredible number of stats sortable by almost any category - how do I obtain this? I mean, can I just call them up and say I'm a member of the media and would like free access to it, or do I have to go through some screening process to use it?

Well I just wanted to be 8.5x11 so they could fit nice and neat in my envelope without having to fold them but hey, if that's what the editors like then cool. I'm not really in the job hunt...it's a just weird situation and I found a position I liked and wanted to apply for it. Thanks for the...

another thing to note is that my a few of my clips are bigger than 8.5x11 so I asked the customer service woman (this question is what prompted the whole thing anyway) if there was a way I could preview the copy to see if I had resized it correctly and she said "no". Seriously, in this world of...

so I went to the local kinkos today to make some copies of my freshest clips and I had to ask one of the customer service people a question. After she answered my question, she noticed the articles in my hand and said "but you can't copy those, that's copyright infringement." Huh? I told her I...

What's the best way to package clips electronically? I know I asked this question about a year ago and somebody mentioned that you could do something Quark or whatever, but I don't have Quark or InDesign or anything like that. So what's the best way to package clips electronically? I know it's...

Worked with AND for Steve Snapp. Dude's a brick. Klingelhoffer, on the other, is much easier to deal with. He also seems like he generally enjoys his job unlike the Devil - er - Snapp, I mean.

well it I don't think it could be more clear than that. Thanks for the feedback everybody. I just have never really dealt with Macs, except in J-school, so I guess I was a little apprehensive. I don't like the fact that I can't get a broadband card for it, but honestly I wasn't going to get one...

I'm getting a laptop, and I need some feeback as to which one you think I should get. I will be covering D-1 football, basketball, nhl and recruiting. I mostly write, but will do occaisonal design. The computer will be my everything computer- home, work, leasure, etc. Have it narrowed down to...

I'd rather read Whitlock's pomposity than Scoop's.

Is there anywhere I can purchase a demo of InDesign so I can practice it without having to drop the $700 or whatever it costs on the full program? edit: Nevermind, found a free 30-day trial on the Adobe Web site. Now I just need to find some tutorials.

anybody know anything about this?

Any chance they consider an entry level candidate who has done a lot of baseball coverage?

I need help finding an email address for an associated press sports writer. I have met him before and have actually covered a game with him a few years ago, so I'm not just blindly contacting him. But I have somehow lost his contact info, and I would like to get in touch with him again. How do I...

any info on this opening? Are they still taking applications?
