The Vancouver Sun is in the process of hiring a temporary replacement for legislative reporter and blonde bombshell Jim Beatty, who resigned last month to become CTV's Rockpile bureau chief. The position, which will be based in Vancouver but regularly assigned to Victoria, is being offered to existing reporting staff. In an interview, Sun managing editor Kirk LaPointe said the broadsheet will be hiring a permanent legislative bureau staffer in five or six months, after the election. Mr. LaPointe added the competition for the temp job will close in the next couple days.
Permanent link
Glad that's been cleared up.
Figured that PublicEye might be looking for another editor before the election....
And after looking at Mr LaPointe's site can only conclude that the man is a certifiable linkaholic.
I mean, come on....the Berkeley Science Lab News?
I LOVE it.
The Vancouver Sun is basing their legislative reporter in Vancouver, where the legislature is...not.
The paper is hiring a permanent reporter after the next election because that's when all the big stories will be...not.
I suppose the next step will be to run a special 2010 Olympics suplement the last week of the campaign. You know, just to be fair and evenhanded...not.
Actually, a legislative reporter, during elections, should probably be based somewhere on the mainland. There are a lot of *election campaigns* going on on the Mainland, not so much legislating going on on the Island. I think it makes sense.
