Journalismjobs.com spam

[Rick Vaughn]

I was checking the journalismjobs.com site today and I noticed under the internship listings there were a handful of spam listings. I even saw one for child porn that gave an email address to contact. The description was very graphic and made me sick to my stomach. Do those people even check the listings they put up? I sent them a nasty email--I haven't received a response but they took down the spam. Anybody else see the listings? It blows my mind that crap could make it up there.

In a legal sense, if they don't moderate it, they're somehow not legally responsible for those instances. IDK how it works, but comm law friends tell me that's how it goes.

Pretty sure when I've posted jobs on there in the past, it's gone live right away.
