Hearst papers to use Bleacher Report stories

The aforementioned editing "interns" I feel is a crock. I'm always seeing these internships listed on JournalismJobs.com but is there college credit available for them? Is there any professional guidance, as would be customary for a genuine internship? I feel the intern title is the lipstick on the proverbial pig that is BR.com giving copy editors work but no pay.

 

Yeah, most definitely I can. I have, and still do.

When you have 20 or more years in the business and see your profession's standards lowered and demeaned, and assisted by your own managers who want "hits" for some beancounter, you may be able to as well.

 

Kill me now.

 

And not for the better.

 

They are. I did a few years ago it for a bit to try to get exposure, but quickly realized it was a waste of time.

 

No, game has not changed. Plagarism is still plagarism. Not acceptable. Should be punishable by hanging over superheated oil, just in case the knot breaks. Or is there a part of plagarism is bad that you don't understand?

 

Tell us how you understand the frustrations and angst of dedicated, veteran journalists with decades of experience who see their work stolen and reprinted elsewhere, promoted by their own managers on their own sites and then told "Deal with it. This allows fans to 'participate in the conversation' while pumping our numbers!"

Tell us how a veteran journalist should react when they see their work plagiarized but are told by the new generation of 'writers' that it's a new era? That it's just "sharing" and to accept it?

Tell us why we shouldn't rattle sabers and wield the mace against the wannabe fanboi generation who is allowed in pressboxes or on sidelines like ESPN "The Mag" did last football season. Regina the Reporter wasn't as nervous when she lost her virginity as she was 'interviewing' a player! Johnny the Journo got to meet one of his football idols on the sideline and then got brushed off! Remarkable! How or why the pro leagues and colleges allowed this was yet another stab in the ribs of the legitimate media.

And yet people say "We understand." Bullshit.

 

I am out to pay the mortgage by writing for free for Bleacher Report!

2. Stop being an ass telling us we should feel lucky to have jobs. We have jobs because we are good at what we do. If we weren't, people wouldn't be plagiarizing us and calling our work their own.
