    Hi- I was laid off a few years ago from the DMN and live down in the Marfa area now. The Big Bend Sentinel just lost a reporter to the Statesman, they aren’t filling the position right away I’m told, but maybe in the future? Might send your resume anyway. Great community newspaper & amazing place to live.

    Another possibility from an ex-DMNer:

    Former DMNer here -- my thoughts are with everyone in the newsroom. Just wanted to say that I've gotten several past interviews from jobs posted at Indeed.com and on craigslist.org. If you're interested in going the freelance route, check out mediabistro.com. Too, there's some money to be made in blogging ... for someone else! Visit the job board at problogger.com for details.

    Also, if anyone out there would like a resume revamp, I can help! I'm a writer and copy editor launching a new company. I can do pretty much whatever to your resume -- freshen up content, make job descrips more dynamic, create sharp-looking PDF or HTML resumes, or all of the above for a reasonable, recession-friendly fee (check out a sample at http://bit.ly/oCNN19). Shoot me an email at editor@theddmediagroup.com if you're interested. And chin up -- I know how y'all feel; know that departing the DMN can be the start of something different and fantastic. Good luck ...

    First off, I worked at TDMN for eight years, first as a copywriter in the advertising department, then as special sections content manager. I enjoyed the work because it gave me a reasonable work/life balance and I had relative autonomy over my sections. But after three rounds of layoffs and the buyout offer, I began searching for another job...a process that took more than two more years. Now I have a job that has allowed me to return to my journalism roots and in an unanticipated way. I'm managing editor of the nation's largest-circulation publication for cancer patients, caregivers and survivors. CURE magazine is based in Dallas and we're looking to expand its workforce. Currently, we're searching for a books/special projects editor. The position hasn't yet been posted by our parent company, McKesson, but it's next in line. I know TDMN has let a lot of great talent walk out the door. Beyond the open position, there are also freelance opportunities for medical/science writers. Although I worked on the advertising/marketing side of the paper, I'm eager to help my friends on the news/editorial side now that I'm in a position to do so. Contact jon.garinn@curetoday.com.

    The Casper Star-Tribune, Wyoming's only statewide newspaper, is seeking a talented reporter with high expectations and organizational skills to join our city desk.

    Coverage will primarily focus on city government but will also include some general assignment and crime/courts responsibilities.

    We offer a great benefit package including health, dental, vision, 401k, and vacation plans, and a generous compensation plan based on experience.

    Casper is a vibrant community of around 60,000 in central Wyoming, with access to superb fishing, hiking and other pursuits in a wide-open state full of outdoor splendor. It's also the hub of Wyoming's all-important energy industry, including natural gas, oil, coal, uranium, and wind.

    You can see our Web site at www.trib.com and learn more about our parent company at www.lee.net.

    Both experienced journalists and new journalists are welcome to apply.

    To apply, visit www.trib.com/ workhere and fill out an online application (under the Home tab, click on Careers).

    Description:

    The Chronicle of Higher Educationis seeking a creative, experienced editor to oversee our coverage of college students.

    The premier news source for college faculty members and administrators, the Chronicle covers students as the lifeblood of higher education. And that means a broad range of issues will cross your desk: admissions, financial aid, tuition pricing, and marketing. This section covers a lot more than 18-year-olds living on campus at elite private colleges. Increasingly, it's about the 1 out of 4 undergraduates who are older than 30, about the growing proportion of them at community colleges, and about the ones attending part-time. The reporters are following the Obama administration's ambitious college-completion goals, controversial student legal issues, and the changing strategies families use to pay for college. You don't have to be an expert on these issues — yet — but an interest in higher education and the ability to be a quick study are musts.

    Our Students editor supervises four reporters and an intern. We're looking for someone to plan coverage, shape story ideas, mentor younger reporters, and edit weekly copy for our print edition as well as daily stories for our Web site. You'll also have opportunities to write your own stories.

    The job requires outstanding organization and the ability to work well with others, especially our designers, Web producers, photo editors, and your fellow section editors. A minimum of 3 years of editing experience is required. Experience editing long-form stories is a plus. So is being comfortable with data and statistics.

    The Chronicle is independently owned and based in Washington, D.C. Our pay is commensurate with experience, and our benefits are among the best in the business.

    We're a serious news organization with more than 90 writers, editors, and correspondents around the world. We have a weekly print edition with more than 300,000 readers. Our Web site has 1.7-million unique visitors a month and more than 14-million page views.

    To apply, send a cover letter and resume to:

    Scott Smallwood, Managing Editor, The Chronicle of Higher Education, 1255 23rd St NW, Washington, D.C. 20037
