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. >more bio >resume  • Tuesdays: News Job Café • Wednesdays: J-Schools • Thursdays: Job Hacks • Fridays: Apply With Care |
Journalism That Matters Conference I'm excited. I will take most of the week to attend the Journalism that Matters conference in Silicon Valley to see what I can learn about my future, your future, the future of journalism.
As I have talked with people, though, I have come to understand that this conference will only be as successful as I and my peers are able to put the karger mission ahead of our own. If we do that, I am sure, we will benefit from what Wayne Baker of the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business calls "the law of reciprocity." That law holds that if you invest your energies in the needs of others, good will come back to you in surprising ways. I will write about what I learn at Journalism that Matters on this blog. You'll see more starting Wednesday. In the meantime, take a look at some of the preparatory materials. Add comment (0) |

 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
