    Putting up a pay wall

    We put up a pay wall last July, and the paper itself hasn't seen a massive drop off in home delivery. Our page views are steady and are in relation to what our numbers were last year. We're working hard to increase our visibility and convincing people to come to our website.

    The club gets ever larger

    I found out from someone who was laid off from that paper, if it is the one I'm thinking, today. It makes me sick, because I thought the furloughs were supposed to prevent crap like this. 32-hour work weeks and still laying off people. What's next 24-hour work weeks, layoffs and an A-section...

    Advice on entering the Journalism field

    I graduated in December 2007, and odds are, I'm not going to add anything which hasn't already been said. Getting a job out of college is luck at this point. It took four months after I graduated to get the job, which was luck. I have more experienced journalists each day tell me how lucky I...

    oh those wacky college kids

    I'm constantly told about how lucky I am to get a job out of school. I know how lucky I am. I think something was aligned in the stars for me to be hired out of school. It didn't take me long after I graduated to realize that the degree was a bad idea. The kids are following a dream, but sadly...

    Going back to school....?

    I've made the decision to go back to school, at the local college where I work. I'm heading into the health field. I'm 22 years old and I have options. I started a journalism/biology major in college, but decided against finishing the biology degree because I got lazy and decided to focus on...

    Are you where you deserve to be?

    I'm way over my head for where I'm at. I'm 22, fresh out of college and going through learning phases. I cover a Division I basketball beat, and I thought I'd be doing preps for a majority of my first few years in the industry. So it's safe to say, I'm higher than I should be.

    Is Gannett really that bad?

    Currently work at a Gannett shop, and I don't really have any complaints right now. Haven't seen too much BS, then again I've only been here for three months and work in a bureau. So, I never know what's going on in the main office.

    Is this a "calling" for you?

    Is it a calling? I'd have to say so. There isn't any other way to put it really because I don't think too many people would openly seek writing 500-word "essays" every day for very little pay. I was told that I was crazy to become a journalist in the state it is in. I was too far in it to stop...

    Probably been asked before but...

    I'm 21, just entered the industry and I'm already planning my exit strategy. I believed in the idea that waking up every morning to a job I loved would compensate for the misfortunes. Well, I love waking up every morning to my job but I hate how small the town in (coming from Las Vegas, it's a...

    Something positive during very bad times

    1.) If you could go back and cover any famous athlete, or sporting event, in history what would it be? - I'd have to go with the Lakers-Celtics rivalry. I'd love to see how the rivalry grew over the years. 2.) Your ideal road trip. Where would it be? What would you do? - Tokyo - A culture that...

    Ascending the food chain (re: circulations)

    I'm in the same boat as you Jay. I'm thinking about where I want to be, but the most I work at my current shop I start to appreciate what I'm doing more and more. Do I want to be a bigger paper with a bigger circulation? Of course, but I'm in no hurry to try and improve that right away. I'm...

    U.S. Open or NBA Finals

    We're going with the NBA finals because we can make deadline for it. But if LA doesn't blow this lead, and builds a huge lead, I might have to go with the Open.
