The newspaper's editor has gone to Fort Smith, Arkansas, a Gannett/Craphouse paper that was old Craphouse pre-merger.
Per a pull-out before I clicked the link to its Wiki page, on this search for who owned it:
The Southwest Times Record is a daily newspaper in Fort Smith, Arkansas and covers 10 counties in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. It is owned and published by Gannett. The newspaper has not published a local story since Aug. 17, 2023.
OK, now.
It does run stuff like this:
The USA TODAY Network is publishing localized versions of this story on its news sites across the country, generated with data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
which obviously isn't actually localized.
A sinecure job, as any local news will be more than none. That said, having applied for a Gannett editorial job in Northern California, before they yanked the plug on the process, last year? It probably doesn't pay fantastic. Not horrible, but not fantastic. But, probably more than I make now.
But?

How the Register got a second in its class in "general excellence" in this year's TPA awards, unless at least one of the two was from before summer of 2023, when their sports guy left and they didn't replace him, and if not both from them, the other was from before the end of football season 2023, when they then stopped covering sports, I don't know. I'm sure that won't repeat.
(Reportedly, they're looking for a reporter to replace him, not an editor, and Cleburne's ME will be a multi-paper editor. We know how well that works. And I bet they still don't cover that much sports, certainly not outside football. And, I bet they take a while to find somebody to fill that.)
