    Still working for the idiot publisher...

    As the topic title says, still working for the idiot publisher. And... He had my writers do so many anti-LGBT articles the readership is down to nearly nothing. Now realizing what he's done, he comes to me yesterday and hands me an editor's note he wants me to post. I didn't write it so why's...

    What do you do if you work for an idiot publisher?

    I'm the managing editor. I've been at this publication for four months, now. I have over 20 years as a journalist, the last five as an editor. My publisher is a Harvard MBA and actually said, in a meeting with a VP at Cox in Dayton, "I know publishing better than even you do! I published my high...

    Getting media relations people to call back???

    Did something happen at the Tampa Tribune?

    I just saw three postings put up at JJ.com today of three reporter slots. I sat there and stared, thinking, "Um... Do I apply for one of these?" All of you are so in the loop here (and I'm in awe, really) I thought I'd check here to see if anyone heard anything?

    Cover letter issues/need help. Is this the appropriate board?

    I'm re-entering the job market after many years of being out of it and I'm afraid my job hunting skills are rusty. In applying for reporter/writer positions, I'm reading on here the cover letter is critical. I've sent out numerous applications to various outlets and am finding I'm not getting...

    Am I too late to the "I want a reporter position" party?

    My back story is, sad to say, heard too many times and not worth sharing, but the bottom line is, I was hoping to get back into the newspaper game after too many years out of it, following a husband around the country. I've been sending my resume, clips and references to many, many newspapers...
