I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, but a cursory search didn't return much. I'm looking for a freelance writing/editing gig, and I'm not sure where to start. Nothing too intense or demanding, but simply a way to make a few extra bucks. Doesn't have to be sports or any hardcore reporting...

Rather than continuing to go back and forth with a university communications person, I thought I'd come here and solicit some advice. This board was always a good resource for me. The basics: Women's track and field coach at an NCAA Division II (public) school is on leave. My question to the...

Looking for suggestions on ways to deviate from the traditional gamer. Anyone know of papers/sites that do something different than the standard 20-inch lede/stats/quotes/key plays routine? And do it well? I'm feeling more and more that the traditional game report has overstayed its welcome...

Obviously a touchy subject, but I'm really curious as to what people make in this business. Reporter, editor, designer, etc. Just want to gauge what the pay scale is. Paper circ. would be helpful.

I apologize in advance, but I do recall a while back stumbling upon something here about boosting circulation via mass mailings (and jazzing up the newspaper for those mass-mailing days). It was an oft-discussed idea, but for the life of me I can't find the thread. If anyone can point me in the...

It's obviously no secret that Bill Simmons was born and bred in Boston. And this isn't intended to pile on the fact that he's a huge homer, but in his recent column (another running diary), he links to his Twitter feed, where he will post anti-Magic chants during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference...

With shrinking sections, I think this is becoming more and more prevalent, and it's incredibly annoying. I'm curious as to whether anyone else is noticing this, and becoming frustrated? I'm talking about when you're compelled to pick up a newspaper based on an eye-catching front-page design...

I'm looking for a photog to shoot a football game Friday night (Sept. 4, 2009) at Wayzata High School near Minneapolis. Pay is $50. Message me ASAP if interested.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=4068270 His latest column, er, PR piece (A day in the life of Kobe). A couple lowlights: "Gods do not park." " … I'm just very thankful and blessed. It was really close there for awhile." Even a weekly shopper reporter would follow that answer up...

Still trying to keep a foot in the business, so if anyone needs any coverage from northern MN, send me a PM. I'm more than willing to travel (provided, of course, those expenses are part of the agreement). And I'm not picky on what sport I cover. Clips and resume available upon request.

Not a numbers guy by any means, but this doesn't look good. If this was already posted somewhere, my apologies. http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2008/12/08/daily59.html?ana=from_rss

Just a general question for folks who are far wiser than I: Does anyone else struggle with trying to avoid too much football copy/coverage? Our state playoffs are going on right now, with one local team left (two teams until Saturday), so we have a ton of coverage there. But I worry about...

From JJ ... We have an immediate need for a sports writer/designer; we may also soon have a reporter position we're allowed to fill. We're looking for talented writers who are flexible, have a passion for this biz and a solid work ethic. The sports writer will be required to paginate using...

Just wondering how everyone approaches their newspaper blogs. What kind of content, short or long posts, frequency of updates, breaking news or loose observations. Basically, I try and update our blog daily (admittedly a sometimes unattainable goal) but I wouldn't argue if someone told me our...

FARMINGTON — When his team dropped its second game of the season in late March, Piedra Vista softball coach Kevin Werth heard the whispers. "People were wondering, they were like, well, what's wrong with PV?'" the coach explained, before adding with a sly grin. "There's nothing wrong with PV...

A basic question about the madness that is the search for a new job. I've often heard that spring, specifically April and May, is the ideal time for journalists on the move. Something about budgets spiking in the spring and allowing papers to fill or create new positions. Basically, I've been...

Speaking of clips, what about creating a personal Web page (i.e. through blogspot.com) and attaching that link to the cover letter? I've uploaded my clips to a pretty solid blogspot page that looks sharp and is easy to browse. But are employers cool with this, or would they rather see the hard...
