  • 'Earned media' isn't the marketing I know and understand

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Sep 4, 2021

    The job sounded great — a marketing position with the state tourism department. State benefits for a job I could do indoors for which I was vaguely qualified. I am pretty sure those type of state employees no longer have to check in at an office since the pandemic. You work at home from your state-issued phone and return calls when you get around to it. Just one problem — one of the main duties of this position is to accomplish something I don't understand and totally dis...

Back in competition for the first time in more than 600 days, the Greyhounds got two second-half goals from Katey Stice and made them stand up for a season-opening 2-0 win over Colorado State-Pueblo in the coaching debut of Abbey Barnum on Thursday at Greyhound Stadium. Stice, a senior forward/midfielder from Odessa, Texas, netted her tallies in a span of just over nine minutes near the midpoint of the second half. She w...
