<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To Whom It May Concern:</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I would like to apply for consideration to be an editor with Editor World.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was a researcher at The Daily Telegraph of London, contributing topics for the then-U.S. Editor Toby Harnden's blog,</span><a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/tobyharnden/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/tobyharnden/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, working out of the Washington bureau.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I contributed to the short-lived presidential campaigns of Jon Huntsman in 2012 and Jim Webb in 2016.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was a contributor to District Sports Page covering the Wizards and Redskins. I spent two seasons as the Washington correspondent for Pro Hockey News. The Capitals had recognized PHN as a media outlet and gave me a game-by-game, blogger credential for all home games at the Verizon Center. &nbsp;</span><a href="http://prohockeynews.com/author/norin"><span style="font-weight: 400;">http://prohockeynews.com/author/norin</span></a></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am in the contestant pool for Sports Jeopardy until April 2017. You can still occasionally see me on ESPN from time to time when they replay my only lifetime defeat in sports trivia at the hands of the Schwab in 2006, leading to a tenth-place finish. I had no idea who the third-string quarterback on the &rsquo;93 Dolphins was. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am certain I have a better story to tell than anybody else there.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As an amateur sports historian, I have been a member of SABR, SIHR, and PFRA. I wrote biographies of reliever Clay Carroll and utility infielder Darrel Chaney for The Great Eight: 1975 Cincinnati Reds, a book commissioned by the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and the University of Nebraska Press for its series, Memorable Teams in Baseball History. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have any questions or wish to consider me for an interview, you can contact me by phone at 703-677-0329 or by e-mail at derek.norin@gmail.com. I look forward to speaking with you further about this opportunity.</span></p>
