Los Angeles Sports Reporters/Writers/Journalists needed. Huge Site Opening

Just curious, but how many other jobs posted here have laid out what they will pay, the benefits, and other details regarding the vacancies? Some give info about bennies, but I can't count on one hand how many have disclosed pay figures. Of course, most of us have questions because it's a start up, but pestering the OP isn't going to get you any closer to being informed. And giving the guy crap surely won't make it any easier for those wanting to actually learn about the company.

 

It's all about credibility, and, like it or not, most start-ups have to build it. Providing a pay range, benefit information and some idea on how an employee will make money is helpful, especially if they're going to jump ship from their old job.

Most jobs here don't directly put that out here, you're right. But they're more often than not established outlets and not some arrived-by-the-night internet start-up.

 

The thread-starting poster apparently missed the real reason that I, at least, was asking about the funding behind this operation.

For me, the primary potential problem wasn't necessarily about pay or benefits, per se. It was about the obvious potential conflicts of interest that it sounds like oftentimes would be in play. I think you missed that in the quoted part on my first post on this thread.

 

Love this guy. Exactly .

Benefits will be given after a specific amount of time at the company. Pay will be competitive with all the current companies out right now. A one year contract will be signed to guarantee the agreed salary and terms since we are a start-up.

Thank You

 

You could have saved everybody a lot of time and aggravation if you had just written that to begin with.

 

True

 

Still cloaked in shadows and mystery.

Sounds ambitious, but also sounds like other come-and-gone pitches.

 

You still haven't specified where the money is coming from. "We have money" isn't the answer to the question of where the money is coming from.

 

haha. There you go. One of my online business.

 

Where are we supposed to send our resumes and clips?

 

Don't all start-up companies sound great? Like others here have said a good portion of posters here are already credible journalist. I, for one, would want to see the business layout, see what syndication and partnerships you have setup, what the main source of revue for the site will be, etc.

I took a look at your Twitter account. One tip, don't start every tweet with BREAKING. Dare I see one future ReportSide reporter tweeting from a game BREAKING: Brady completes a three yard pass to Gronk, first down Patriots.

Also if this is paid, why is it in freelance?...
