Saxum Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 No for this paper is one which has not followed that model.

PromoTheRobot Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 1 hour ago, BuffaloRush said: How much do you think this job pays? Good question. If you recall, when they first advertised the job, when they hired Fairburn, it was a per-story rate, like a freelancer. In other words a full time job for part time pay with no benefits. Oh, and you cover all your own expenses. Great job for a kid out of journalism school. Not so much for anyone trying to make a living. I'd be tempted if I were retired 1
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Can I get a fedora with a 'PRESS' tag in the band...and the nickname 'Scoop'? 4
boater Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Quote And don’t waste time with a traditional cover letter. I wish all employers were like that.
Arkady Renko Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Looks like Fairburn is officially leaving Syracuse.com. Could he be going to BN or Tim Graham's new venture? 1

FappyTheClown Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I'll do it. I'll bring a heaping scoop of woopie.
Big Turk Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Would definitely be fun but I kinda make too much money at my job to consider it...not that I have any real writing experience anyway.

Agreed. But I'd like to think "liking to watch football" should be part of the requirement for a Bills beat reporter. Too many seem like they really don't like the sport they're covering. Lori would be a perfect choice, except she is way overqualified, for this particular gig.

Granted he was a columnist, but I always thought any Sullivan column on the Bills should be prefaced with the phrase 'I'd rather be golfing...trying for under 100'.
