Boy, wowee, and holy mackerels!
There are only two newspaper jobs open in the state of Minnesota, according to today's issue of the Minnesota Newspaper Association Bulletin newsletter.
I'm glad I have a job.
Normally, I look at the job listings for the MNA -- not because I'm looking to leave the lovely berg of Jordan, but because I have many friends in the industry and have mentored several interns and college students who might like a good job. I tend to tip them off when there's an opening.
Today's journalism job climate isn't so great, it seems.
So if you feel so inclined: Buy a newspaper, support a fledgling journalist.

I'm with you on that one....
Back to page topI'm with you on that one. Every time I hear of rising unemployment rates I'm thankful I made the cut to join you here. One of my friends, with whom I graduated in May, still hasn't found a job, and he's been looking for more than six months.
