[Journalists] Ohio State University newspaper manager position

[Everett Gavel]

Thanks for this, Elizabeth.  But, is there a link 
included, to that online application, or to the page 
with this info on it?  Am I just missing it?

I tried searching the requisition number, along with a 
couple keywords, Lantern and Columbus, but nothing came 
up.

Thanks,
Everett
