So they fell in love and got engaged and the newsroom didn t have a clue until they were told. Never expect to look for a job quietly. I have a large metro Midwest paper looking for a top editor. Whether you re interested or not, you want to know which paper, if the editor being replaced, and what the deal is. If everyone who ever said they were offered a job by Youngs and Walker had, we d be responsible for almost all the working executives in the newspaper industry.
Editors always press.
They can be pretty tenacious, so you have to be pretty general. You have to keep it confidential until you tell the first individual. Once you tell one, you re done. You have to assume the rest of the industry will know. Because only a small group of people knew and oddly enough, they all kept their mouths shut.
