Title: Newspaper Job
Post by: Ogre on September 21, 2009, 12:18 PM NHFT
Just thought I'd pass this along, in case anyone wanted to try and work from the inside to make change:

New Hampshire Union Leader is looking for a Correspondent Reporter to cover the Hanover/Claremont area. This is a contract position, which does not offer any benefits. You must have your own digital camera, and 1-2 years of reporting experience. A background in police and government reporting is preferred. Earnings potential can be up to $1,000/week. Interested applicants may send a resume and some work samples to: John Toole, City Editor, Union Leader Corp. P.O. Box 9555 Manchester, NH 03108-9555, unionleader.jobs@gmail.com

Worse that could happen is they could say "no" or you could get fired later for being too honest.

That's because the rats are jumping ship.  I worked for a large Vermont newspaper 2000 to 2006 - circulation dropped 25%, pay and benefit cuts, layoffs, back stabbing etc that goes with all that.

Dead tree news is having very tough time - fewer people want the bother of having to recycle all that pulp and pay increasing newspaper prices when they can get all the news they want (and from many different angles) online.
