Questions about the St. Croix Avis newspaper

Shoe: (Like the comic strip?) I love the "Ah-vis", especially the cryptoquiz. It is good to read another point of view besides the Daily News, and it only costs 60 cents instead of 75 cents.

Shoe,
I agree with Eastender about the Avis. It's a real local paper for STX. The do need a proofreader desperately. In one obituary it stated that the man died of "Lew Kemea". I almost fell over laughing.

East Ender, "Shoe" actually stems from my last nane. 🙂 So I'm assuming that the paper sticks pretty close to the happenings of St. Croix only, or do they cover events and stories from the rest of the USVI?

Well, I think it has a Crucian flavor, but they do report on events territory-wide.

I used to work at the Avis and I am going to probably work there this summer. It's a great place to work, I like it. Good luck! Email me for more specific questions.

Dominic, that would be great! Please post your e-mail address, or drop me a line at bshoemaker@bradley.edu Thanks!

Can you read the Avus on line ? if so what is the website ?

No, you can't read it online.

Anyone still here? I know it's an old forum post, but there's a job opening at the Avis. Is it still a good place to work? Anyone on here work there now? What do you think of it as a paper in general and as a workplace specifically? Does it pay a USVI living wage? Thanks.

It's 2011 and they're still not online. I don't think much of the St. Croix Avis.

I don't think care much either for the Virgin Islands Daily News aka Daily Nuisance and the online paper The Source aka The Worst. These papers severely lack journalistic integrity.

I can do that! I can get them online (if they want to be ...) and I'm full of journalistic integrity. : )

I like reading the Avis because of it's "hyper-local" focus--i.e., it's all STX all the time. But getting through the myriad misspellings, circular logic, questionable intent and general deplorable grammar can be a challenge. I've seen high school newspapers with better writing standards.

*-) then you're probably over qualified to work at this paper......good luck though

Last time I dealt with Avis, they still didn't take credit cards. Last year, they stopped doing mail subscriptions. And they used to run ads like "our email address will be down for 3 weeks, so fax us." They are completely backwards.

overqualified. hahaha

Anytime I pick up the Avis, my hand starts itching for a red pen. I don't know who does the proofreading over there, but whoever it is needs some serious help (like an eighth grade English class).
