Appreciate the info, it’s good to know.

Too bad bots can't fetch beers yet.

Hey, at least she realizes it's not all about her...

Bots have genders?

So are you guys saying this is a bad gig. I am new to the board. Currently a sports editor in Tennessee and possibly looking to move out west.. Was interested in this one, but would like further input.

Thanks everyone..

Darren- I interviewed for this job in the spring when it was open. Came down to me and the other guy and obviously I didn't get it (which was my evil laugh joke). Steve, the SE before, had been there 20 years.

It's going to be a one-man desk, likely some stringer help when needed. South Tahoe is beautiful. I want to get back West eventually with my career, too.

Unless something has changed, pay is likely going to be $35,000 (pending experience), and there are enough $600-range apartments that should fit fine. Also, with Stateline, Nev. being so close, you can avoid that California gas tax.

Even though I didn't end up getting it, I was very appreciative of Annie and how professional and personable she was. I believe she's a fairly recent grad of UNR (a few years back) and has worked at at least one other paper in the Swift family.

Just occurred to me: How can the Daily Tribune be a three-times-a-week?

 

[Matt Stephens]

Online content.

Oh.

IIRC from the last time this was open, they were daily, but went 3x/week in a cost-cutting measure.

What is considered "a well-edited photography portfolio?" 4-5 photos? I don't think I have seen this in an ad for a sports editor position before.

I think it's because you'll be taking most of your own photos.

I know plenty about this position. PM if you want to know more.

I went to school with Annie, aka Flanz, and I worked at another Swift Paper. I'll say this about Annie, she's committed to putting out a good product and she's been that way for as long as I've known her. As for Swift it has its issues like every other chain out there but the previous SE was there for 20 years and became a part of that community. You'll get to cover the celebrity golf tournament and plenty of Winter Olympic athletes.

If you like the outdoors and cold winter weather apply for this job.

Anyone know the status of this one, it's been open for a few weeks now...
