Looks like you're no longer accepting applications, according to my LinkedIn account. That was quick.

 

[JoshBarnett]

You are welcome to email me directly.

We got about 400 applications combined in less than 72 hours so we are working our way through.

 

[maumann]

No worries. I'm happily retired. That definitely tells me SBJ is a destination job and you folks have done a great job making it so. Good luck finding two keepers.

 

[JoshBarnett]

Happy to announce that both of these positions have been filled, along with two other openings.

Mike Mazzeo, formerly of NY Daily News, Yahoo, ESPNNY.com and Legal Sports Betting Report, will be covering baseball and be based in NYC.

Irving Meija-Hilario, a business reporter for the Dallas Morning News, has accepted the GA / Agency position and will be based in Dallas.

We are looking for a research assistant and an associate editor.

Is the associate editor position Charlotte-based?

[JoshBarnett]

Is the associate editor position Charlotte-based?

That is our strong preference because the editing team is based there. But I think we would consider a compelling candidate elsewhere.

Great hires, Josh. Your staff is always on the cutting edge of sports business coverage. When I was at Turner covering NASCAR (2001-2012), I certainly checked the daily briefing to see what SBJ was saying about the sport. That's a pretty good niche to occupy and nobody does it better.

 

[JoshBarnett]

Maumann: I appreciate the kind words and the high regard in which you hold SBJ and our team. I've been fortunate to join an excellent group of smart, engaged and eager journalists.

We have a lot of initiatives and things we want to get to, but it's always a blessing to be dealing from a position of strength with resources and talent.

The sports business space seems as if it adds new entrants and competition almost daily. We have to keep pushing every day to retain our spot at the top of the mountain and to keep growing.
