Take this job and...

Lots of moves lately, both in and out of the region. Newsdesigner has a pretty good roundup at his site, but to highlight a couple down here:

Steve Zimmerman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and formerly of the Miami Herald is headed off to the coveted position of sports designer at the Oregonian. His wife got a teaching job out there. Region 3 will miss you, but....

Kristin Synowka will be filling the void by joining the St. Petersburg Times. Kristin is currently at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. She'll be doing sports in St. Pete. Welcome to Florida!

Lastly, I, too, am making a move, albeit a short one. I'll be leaving the Sun-Sentinel for the Palm Beach Post at the end of the month. At the post I'll be doing news planning, features and projects. Don't fret, I'm still your regional director (I know you were on the edge of your seat).

All of these moves mean only one thing: Job openings for the rest of you! In addition to the voids Steve and I will leave at the Sun-Sentinel, there's also plenty of other region 3 opportunities. Head over to snd.org to find your fit in Sarasota, Tampa, Lakeland, Ft. Myers or, of course, Fort Lauderdale (news sports)
