What is Journatic? Telecommute listings here.

Probably happened because they don't have any experienced copy editors, or want to hire any ...

 

They're still posting on journalismjobs, just not telling people who they are. this job was posted May 10

Remember, "Being based in the community is not beneficial". Just what the guys who wrote the first amendment had in mind.

Man, this place is shady.

 

I wonder if their "basic editing test" is cleaning up their job listing.

 

I'm about to have a two week trial with them so I'll let you guys know how it goes but if the Tribune Company is dealing with them, they can't be that bad. I've been out there for awhile fellows and let me tell you, at this point it's better then working for free which I did at Bleacher Report.

 

You mean someone actually got back to you?

 

yep it was a human being, they got back to me quick, did the phone interview this afternoon and got the assignment. I'll keep you posted.

 

Are you getting paid during the trial?
