Best journalism-job want ad ever.
- arepb 16y agoCertainly well written, but my experience with journalists (hiring them and firing them and learning a ton from every one of them) is that sometimes the bookish, quiet types do the best investigative stuff. All the same, great little piece of copy here. I want that guy to do my cover letter.

- VladRussian 16y agono surprise that this newspaper survives and even hiring at the times when others are laying off.
- knieveltech 16y agoFuck. That made me want to change careers and move to Florida. I have no journalism background and I hate Florida. Respect.
- Gaussian 16y agoAs the ad states, Florida is the place for news. I've heard more than one editor advise reporters to go there early in their careers. Drug smugglers, immigration, presidential electoral swings, real estate boom and crash, jungle panthers, large reptiles capable of eating men, Cuba, etc. I don't like the place. But damn if it doesn't have news. You'll never file a story on a neighborhood watch meeting because there's always something better.
- rmason 16y agoI started out in journalism. If I'd ever gotten to work for somebody like that I might not be slinging code for a living.
