They haven't filled this spot. It's the same job as months (years?) ago, they just haven't filled it yet.

Is anyone else getting an application error when clicking the link to apply?

Appreciate all the advice. It helps a bunch. I figured all there was were preps pretty much. At least in Laredo and in other places like El Paso and Amarillo, you have some semi-pro teams to cover as well, just for variety.

Does anybody have any info on this shop? I know it's in South TX, with a circ of 36K and they cover 44 high schools... but anything beyond that, I could use some help-- regarding staff, what they primarily cover, etc. Is it a definite upgrade over other TX shops like Laredo Morning Times...

Is there a link anywhere to Walsh's Marshall story?

The pay is no more than 26. This particular group is actually a group of five weeklies that you'll cover. You cover 10 high schools, and one local af2 team, the Texas Copperheads. It covers two school districts, including Cy-Fair, the third-largest in TX. You design your own pages (3 pages per...

All good points, actually. I just really want to get back to a daily tho, and while this still isn't quite there, it's a move forward in that aspect. The money is also just starting, a raise will come after a probation period so I'll end up making more than I do now. At my current gig, I have...

Question: I'm currently an SE at a weekly shop in Texas, with a circ. of 127,000, covering 10 HSs and an af2 football team. I've recently got an offer from a tri-weekly in Florida to be an ASE. The pay's a tad lower, they'll help with relocation, and their circ. is 20,000, covering 3 Hs and a...

Anyone know anything about WorldvoiceNews? My friend sent along an inquiry from them regarding a sports reporter job, and i was curious as to if they're legit or not.

Available stringer in Houston, TX, as well as surrounding Texas cities such as Austin and San Antonio. Has experience covering prep, collegiate and pro sports. Good and responsible with deadlines. For contact, email: dens043@yahoo.com.

I like Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle. He's been a fav of mine the past few years.

^^^ appreciate the help, man. I get your point about the opinion. Thanks again.

Yup. I desire to get to a daily again, but working as an SE at a weekly has helped immensely. I've learned page design, managed stringers, learned how to work beats, built a more thorugh portfolio, and write 6-8 stories per week. I treat it as if I was working at a daily, never letting stories...

I agree. The legwork and research is hardest because there's so much out there and it takes time and effort to get it right. Writing comes easy to me, so I'm quicker to gather info, organize and write it in a coherent and introspective manner. But research and background work is where the story...

I consider myself a workaholic. I work maybe 50-60 hours a week, use all weekend to work, and do any little bit just to get even the tiniest bit ahead of my competition. But I don't consider my job "work", it's fun for me. I'm just blessed that I'm talented at it enough to where I can enjoy it...

Any critique would be welcomed :) ==== AUSTIN - Cy-Fair was 11 minutes away from a Class 5A state championship. The Lady Bobcats held a six-point advantage with three minutes remaining in the third quarter. The momentum was theirs, and Rockwall appeared on the brink of desperation. And...

This is the first major story of mini-camp of an af2 team I'm covering. It's my first beat, so any critique would be greatly appreciated. ============================ Forty-nine players were invited to the Texas Copperheads' three-day mini-camp last weekend. The dreams and hopes of nineteen...

Rockets will make it past the second round but no further. They lack depth, are weak at the PF spot, and have a lack of players who can create their own shot other than McGrady. If they had a choice, they have a much greater chance of defeating Dallas than Phoenix, but I don't see them beating...
