This is a solid job for someone starting out or someone on the way up. I started out at the OA back in the day, and if you want a high school beat with the workload and the scrutiny of a college beat, Permian is a great chance to make your mark. I covered Odessa High and learned a lot about...

I'd think it'd be closer to the lower end of the 30-35K range. For a young journalist, this isn't a bad gig at all. I did some freelance work for these guys a couple years back and I was given a decent amount of latitude then. It seems like there's been some shakeup since then, but you'll have a...

As routine as it has become, you stand for the anthem. What you do (hand/hat over heart, hands behind your back, etc.) is up to you, but you got to stand for the national anthem. What really gets me is when a press box doesn't stand for the national anthem but stands for God Bless America. This...

I usually think everything is pretty good that I write, sometimes almost to the point of cockiness. I think its important to be confident, though I do like to read the writing of fellow journalists just to get different perspectives on a particular event. Sometimes I think the way I do it is...

I really have no one new to offer (I wholeheartedly agree with Tierney, Cheryl Hines and the chick from the Drew Carey show) so I'll go with one I don't think is hot that most do. Paris Hilton. She looks more like a mannequin (and not the Kim Cattrall-type) than a human in my eyes.

It's not that this story was necessarily overdone. It's that everything regarding the New York Yankees is overdone by ESPN. I may be in the minority when I say that I don't give a rat's ass that A-Rod sharted after having a chili dog from a hot dog stand on 53rd street and 4th avenue and that...

I'm personally a pressbox guy, but if you are writing a sidebar where statistical information isn't necessarily important or if you have another source for it (i.e. another reporter when we used to double-staff the big rivalry game at one of my previous stops) sidelines can be useful. However...

I think ESPN sucks in general, but in reality, what else is there? Am I going to watch the Best Damn Sports Show? Am I going to watch the local news? No. I still need my sports fix and ESPN is there to fit the bill, whether it annoys me or not. I watch it, but not Sportscenter nearly as much...

Now, that's what I call an update. Well done.

On my first day at my first employer out of college, I was set to cover a Double A baseball game. The guy I was replacing wanted to come with me and introduce me to employees and players for said minor league team. I was cool with that, but after watching the outgoing reporter down four or five...

To add to what I've already posted, I have been in the business six years, most recently as the assistant sports editor of the Katy Courier. I have covered everything from the World Series to high school softball. I have season passes for the Houston Astros and Houston Dynamo and I will send a...

If you need an event covered in Houston for any reason, let me know. My e-mail is t_berka@yahoo.com.

Flash, I'm sorry that things turned out that way. I find myself in the same position, as I, along with my entire paper, was released this past weekend, when I was on vacation no less. I had seen the writing on the wall so I have a few sticks in the fire right now and hopefully one ignites...

speaking of the job, is there anything new going on with it? or have the hiring editors fallen victim to the rampant South Florida crime?

I'm thinking is the usage of the word 'wart' that is the issue. But I could be wrong.
