I don't have an editor and use grammarly. It seems to catch the major stuff and I haven't had any English teachers call to rip me.

Great spot to work and gain experience. Staff is solid and schools are competitive, especially Hobbs basketball.

great spot for basketball

Proceed with caution. Sports editor is a glorified stringer. You'll have to rewrite much of his work all while writing your own stuff and designing pages. Odd because the whole newsroom talks behind his back about how terrible he is but he keeps his job. Managing editor is a deck too. Seems to...

Not a bad area for sports. Terrible publisher

Circulation is 15k so not a bad gig at all. It's a wet heat.

Hillary fan I suppose?

Burned a high school coach once. He coached a 3A football team in a southern state that had won two games in three seasons. When I put together the football preview section before the season there was a rare Thursday night game during district play. A few weeks before the game I texted him...

south padre then?

Hayward is a great SE to work for. He was in Midland for probably a decade before moving to the coast. Corpus probably has the nicest beaches in Texas too.

Does anyone know more about this gig/town?

this is part of Hartman Newspapers. I would avoid unless completely desperate

is Groves the one leaving?

great prep scene in Hobbs and you can't go wrong working for a guy like Clayton

Len Hayward is definitely a great guy. They've had rough luck with the sports staff the last few years. Midland isn't for everyone. The sports scene is high quality though. The Odessa paper offers some competition on the college/minor league beats so that's kind of cool.
