			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Wyatt Emmerich. I am president and owner of Emmerich<br />
Newspapers, a group of 25 newspapers – four small dailies and 21 weeklies - mostly in Mississippi. We have $24 million in sales and about 300 employees. We are constantly looking for good people in all aspects of the newspaper business - publishers, editors, ad reps, graphic artists, accountants, reporters. We have a love of small newspapers and seek bright, creative,  hard-working, innovative people who share our passion for community newspapers. We want to see happy, healthy employees who can balance work and family, get involved in their community, care about the paper and strive for quality. We believe quality, stability, innovation and<br />
dedication will naturally ensure both a reasonable current profit and<br />
long-term growth. If you&#8217;re tired of working for a big company that only<br />
sees small newspapers as cash cows to be milked, rather than precious<br />
community assets to be nourished, then our company may be a good fit for<br />
you. We will respect your confidentiality if you request it. E-mail resume &#038; references to: strack@emmerichnewspapers.com or Dan W. Strack, Emmerich Newspapers, PO Box 16709, Jackson, MS 39236.
