Strange things are afoot at the Potomac News

Todd gave me a heads-up on this, at the Potomac News, where we both worked, once upon a time:

Media General Northern Virginia Community Newspapers is seeking a bilingual reporter to provide local news for its new Spanish-language weekly newspaper and to cover diverse local cultures for its dailies, the Potomac News and the Manassas Journal Messenger. Must speak Spanish and English. This reporter will cover hard news and do features as assigned, as well as generate his or her own story ideas. He or she will also work closely with other reporters, photographers and a graphic artists, and editors.

So far, so good, right? Let’s skip down to the required job skills:

Cover breaking news in all kinds of weather or difficult terrain, including covering police stand-offs, moving quickly to avoid becoming a target, climbing/descending stairs or ropes or ladders or steep slopes.

It makes you wonder what the heck is going on back in Woodbridge.
