I went to college in that area (obviously you could imagine by my username I went to Valparaiso). Nice area. Not sure about the paper and the pay. I honestly would apply for the gig considering how close it is to where I grew up and I haven't seen some friends in five years since graduation.

Any details from someone in the know?

They had an opening there several months ago. I wonder if this is the same position. I applied and never got an interview.

The job is, in reality, more of an assistant sports editor position. Looking for someone with some experience and also strong leadership qualities.

This is not the same position that was advertised earlier in 2013. That person is still here and doing very well.
