I passed my final exam this week, and now I've got a new job.
After clocking three bylines on a murder story and one on a flood rescue (in addition to putting out my sports section), I've been promoted to managing editor of another newspaper within our small chain of weekly papers.
Last night, I put the sports section to bed a little earlier than normal. Then I backed up files to CD and DVD and cleaned out my office. This afternoon I started my new position.
This new newspaper spot is in a neighboring county. I still report to the same man, who is a very good person to work with. Support for my move started with him and went all the way up to the owner of the papers.
The promotion is both exciting and daunting. The responsibility is much greater, and the switch is likened to changing a tire on a moving car. My immediate goal is to publish a new issue on Tuesday.
