    Golden State Warriors beat, BANG

    $60,008 - $69,992 in the Bay Area for a 'big boy job'? Good opportunity, but good luck.

    Writing on spec

    If the idea is good enough to sell after being written, it should be good enough to pitch somewhere and have an agreement in place when you request the interviews and then write the thing. Don't put in the work if you're not sure you're going to get paid.

    Netflix doc revisits Te'o girlfriend story

    This is where I landed too. I enjoyed it but felt like the crew leaned too heavily on Te'o and Naya. They're big 'gets' that make the doc worth doing, but there could've been more context from friends, those around Naya at the time and even writers/broadcasters who got had.

    Old guy question

    Hey Bob! You can just use your camera to take the video and then upload the video from your saved library into a tweet using the Twitter app, just make sure Twitter has permission to access the videos. Alternatively, you can record a video directly from Twitter but seems a bit risky. Keep in...

    Leave paper and start paywall site?

    This is my biggest red flag. What makes you think you could get to 1,000 people paying for the product? While I agree with what another poster said about this seeming a bit hasty, it also seems like you've thought out a fair amount of scenarios. My advice would be to go for it. Make the change...

    A question about blogs

    Yeah, this is the move. Simple publishing interface and when you're done with each 'blog' it just fires it out to all the friends, former coworkers and randoms who found you to remind them to read. Or, they don't sign up for emails and it just lives as a blog.

    In-state sports reporter, Arkansas-Democrat Gazette — Little Rock

    I don't think either of you are wrong here. On the one hand, we all have felt the harsh slap of 'the market', know there are no jobs, understand cutbacks, etc. We've seen a lot of hiring decisions that aren't fair or make no sense. On the other, it's very easy to get complacent. A huge issue...

    Granting a pseudonym

    Who gives a f*** what those people think? They're not going to believe your story no matter what you do unless it fits into their narrative. She has a legitimate reason for not wanting her name out there, but you have a way to still present her perspective to your audience.

    The Athletic keeps growing .......

    I mean...a quick Zillow search shows lower-end rent at $600/month with 1-bedroom apartments to be had in the hipper parts of town for $1,000 or so. The OKC median income is $47,004. Nerdwallet's Cost of Living calculator says it's 115% cheaper to live in OKC than in Brooklyn. I think you'd be on...

    Talk about....

    Wholeheartedly agree. Trashing on "talk about" is a favorite pastime of reporters who ask questions that suck but do it in complete sentences. We all have our crutches. Try as I might, I keep lobbing "How important...?" questions and getting "Very important." answers.

    The Athletic keeps growing .......

    I'm also confused by this complaint. I subscribed last season for The Athletic's college football coverage and really enjoy it even though they don't have a beat writer for my school. Andy Staples is the only national writer I read that they haven't picked up. There are legitimate criticisms to...

    For goodness sake, HIRE EXPERIENCED COPY EDITORS

    If readers don't care, why tweets about the headline have hundreds of replies and RTs?

    David Granger Out At Esquire

    I've been thinking this board has been going down in quality for some time, but I have a renewed enthusiasm about our new crowdsourced Kris Kristofferson profile project.

    Bomani Jones wearing "Caucasians/Indians" T-shirt on Mike and Mike

    So this is just personal distaste for a guy who often talks about something that makes you uncomfortable even though (at least one of) you agree(s) with him on the issue at hand? All right.

    Bomani Jones wearing "Caucasians/Indians" T-shirt on Mike and Mike

    OK, I'll try. What makes this a "stunt" for you? And, if the nickname is, as you agree, racist, why shouldn't a commentator make a statement about that?

    Memorial Stadium (Nebraska) press box

    I remember there being a really long elevator ride to the press box.
