    Sports Writer — The Messenger, Madisonville, KY

    Seems like just about every newspaper is *award-winning* in one way or another these days.

    Job search communication

    You're making this way more complicated than it needs to be. Is radio silence common courtesy? Is leaving recruits out to dry after insisting you'll get back to them common courtesy? This isn't exactly brain surgery.

    Job search communication

    "Is this the kind of indecision we can expect on the job?" lol, what an irrelevant cop-out. Taking seven weeks to make an offer for a position isn't indecision though, huh?

    Job search communication

    Where did I imply that it is exclusive to this field? I referenced "this field" because we're talking about journalism, but I very clearly said "the business world". Morals are arbitrary, I guess, but I think we can all agree that common courtesy is one of them. I was simply discerning a moral...

    Recent college grad seeking advice on job hunting

    So, only 10% of college graduates in this field make a full-time living within a decade? That seems a bit farfetched. 90% of journalism majors weren't sports editors at top 100 universities. Those aren't "Joe Blows" looking for a participation trophy. How silly. I hear what you're saying, but...

    Recent college grad seeking advice on job hunting

    Graduated from Rutgers in May with a journalism & media studies degree, sports specialization certificate. Here's the CliffNotes version of my situation: Been having some pretty tough luck in my job hunt. Toward the end of April I gained traction on a couple openings in NY and Philly, but ended...

    Postgrad Fall Internships

    Does anyone know of a site with listings for fall internships at major newspapers or websites that recent college graduates are eligible to apply for? I'm in that boat as a May 2015 graduate of Rutgers. Feel free to PM me if necessary.
