Fixed it.
Fixed it? Why don't you apply for it?
I think they'd have a problem with me.
Probably, but, you do have the experience including, reporting on police and government ;D
What a coup, if you got the job >:D
Worse that could happen is they could say "no" or you could get fired later for being too honest.
A newspaper that's hiring? :o

That's because the rats are jumping ship. I worked for a large Vermont newspaper 2000 to 2006 - circulation dropped 25%, pay and benefit cuts, layoffs, back stabbing etc that goes with all that.
Dead tree news is having very tough time - fewer people want the bother of having to recycle all that pulp and pay increasing newspaper prices when they can get all the news they want (and from many different angles) online.
but people pick up free weeklies all over the place
I think they just don't want old news
