Since becoming the Detroit Free Press' recruiter in 1990, my work and the journalism industry have changed in unexpected ways. The transformation is rapid. One benefit is that I now learn from and help other Gannett recruiters. NewsRecruiter.com is a hub site that helps keep everything organized. It tells you what I am up to, it links to my latest work and it is a test site for new projects. My best ideas have always come from you, so please write.

New homes for Joe Grimm columns
April 13, 2011 10:48 PM At the end of March, I concluded a fun, five-year run of Ask the Recruiter columns with the Poynter Institute. I figure I wrote about a thousand there. I still host weekly chats there at 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, but am now writing for two new sites. On Mondays, I will have a little something for the Michigan State University School of Journalism's website. "Joe on Jobs" is aimed at college students and recent grads. It is a good complement to journalism teaching at MSU, which I really enjoy. On April 11 and 13, I had my first columns with the Freedom Forum's Diversity Institute. I have learned and trained in Diversity Institute programs and am totally behind its goal of improving news content by diversifyng the industry. From one home I like to three. How lucky is that?

The group's inaugural webinar sounds good. It will pull together six influential women from different fields (three have won Olymopic gold) to talk about the state of women's sports today and other issues in sports. The group does some good work and two of its key members joined me for a Poynter chat on why we need women in sports media. I think you'll find the webinar, scheduled for 2-3 p.m. ET Wednesday, March 30, to be well worth your time. Information about joining the AWSM webinar.

 Bringing the News Century-old postcards celebrate newsies in photographs and artwork, in groups or singly, black and white or color. The newsboys -- and girls, as well as a few adults -- are always portrayed in hard-knock ways. Feet and calves are sometimes bare. Patches cling to elbows and knees. They cover their heads with stocking caps or the floppy hats we still know as "newsboys." If there is inside you a scrappy, survive-by-your-wits newsie, you'll enjoy this collection of cards and carriers bringing news in old-fashioned ways. (Twenty-five images.) >Buy it
