You, too, could be the new Voice Tunkhannock bureau reporter
Leave it to the Voice to create a new bureau reporting job not in the growing faraway Poconos, not in the close-by growing Back Mountain or Mountain Top, but... Tunkahnnock. What's next? A Shickshinny bureau? Seriously, the new reporter is to work out of the newsroom of the T-S-owned weekly in Tunkhannock. How will that work? Will the daily bureau reporter (who answers to Larry Holeva in the CV newsroom) cherry-pick the good stories the weekly is working on before the weekly can publish? How do the people at the Tunkhannock paper feel about this?
Perhaps they're anxious to have someone covering the goings-on at the Tunk Wal-Mart store. In any case, it's a convenient way of saying to a few readers that "we care," while spending as few dollars as possible.
