Jobs in journalism are becoming rarer with each passing day. But at Scott Karp’s Publish2.com, there’s a great job for the taking. All you have to do is win their contest.
It’s a job with Publish2, a start-up focused on helping journalism thrive in the digital age. We already employ two incredibly talented journalists, Tammi Marcoullier [...]

Yesterday, 140 characters at a time, I hacked into Sam Zell and his far-ranging interview with Portfolio as signifying a man who is 1. very good at identifying the newspaper industry’s problems but (and this extends to his key advisor Lee Abrams) 2. woefully inept at articulating real responses to the crisis (other than to [...]

The Guardian’s Roy Greenslade often can be counted on for an interesting and accurate take on the state of journalism.
Just not today.
Today, in a stunning and sweeping mea non culpa, Greenslade, a journalism professor and former reporter and editor, looks at the shrinking audience for newspapers and echoes The Washington Post’s Paul Farhi in a [...]

In a post that seems to have largely gone unnoticed, Rob Curley wrote a detailed summary last week of what goes into a typical day’s work at the innovative lasvegassun.com.
