PR Tea Time

JournalisTea

May 6, 2013

  I got together this past weekend with several other women journalists. Most of those in attendance were former journalists and the rest were still in the biz, ever faithfully cranking out copy on deadline.

The event, a Social SecuriTEA for a now 65-year-old NY Times/Press Democrat correspondent was the perfect opportunity for all of us to commiserate, compare notes and congratulate each other for having used our brains and instincts both to generate copy worth reading. Following the afternoon affair, I did some research – “for fun” and found an assortment of job postings for journalists of all sizes and shapes.

Here are a few:

General Assignment Reporter: The Gettysburg Times, PA. Full-time.  Strong writing skills, outgoing,  and able to work a flexible schedule. Send resume and clips: ahayes@gburgtimes.com or Alex J. Hayes, c/o Gettysburg Times, PO Box 3669, Gettysburg, PA 17325. No phone calls, please. Deadline: June 5
Before you send that resume, make sure you are familiar with important industry terms.
