what is a readers’ editor?

Two words: Readers’ editors.

The reporters for the big newspapers get scoops on a platter from the same people who won’t call back any reporters from an under-100,000-circ newspaper.

Management’s collective inability (and resulting fuckup) of not recognizing the Internet as a dominating competitive force.
Asshats.

Stupid staffers who want to go on background just to tell you what time the fucking hearing is.

Impossible-to-please publishers who seem to exist only to pick apart your work.

Ten different Sports columns or columnists, compared to zero political voices.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign claiming they won Michigan and the delegates could count when Obama’s name wasn’t even on the ballot.

Everyone says no.

There’s too many boring things to cover to even get to the more interesting stories, and I think I lost my wallet.

Death to soul-less AP style.

When you realize your boss doesn’t have any balls. A public official actually went out of his way to invite this boss on a campaign bus tour. Why? Because she posed no threat as a journalist. Warm fuzzy feelings all around.

Or you’ll be working for the East Bumblefuck Daily Shitrag, where their idea of an “in-depth” story is a 30″ article on the great scrapbooking opportunities at the local farmer’s market.

Orrr you’ll find one and be so overworked, so underpaid and so disrespected on a consistent basis, you’ll think that, “Hey, that janitor job might not have been that bad of an idea. At least I’d get my own mop.”
Word.
February 10th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Oh, you’ll find one, and then you’ll realize the only reason you got it is because you’re the only whore who will work for that low of a salary. And then when the other people who work with you quit, they’ll give you a 17% raise and a 50% workload increase for as long as they possibly can.
Fuck the publishers, guys. Fuck ‘em.

Oh, if only I could FIND a journalism job. F’ downsizing and recessions.

Why do I get spot news assignments … 32 minutes after they have started?!
February 10th, 2008 at 2:44 am
I find out shit half an hour after everyone else does — without fail.
