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.

June 2, 2009 5:56 PM Great chat. "If you couldn't be a journalist, what would you do instead?" Archived here: http://bit.ly/1asQLA Read comment(s) or leave a comment Sticking with Journalism June 2, 2009 5:55 PM I recommend this article, written by Beth Macy, for American Journalism Review. It is headlined Hunkering Down and covers the very legitimate and courageous decision that many journalists make to stay the course and try to discover the future of journalism from the inside. Macy quoted me in it, but I liked this, from Amy Ellis Nutt, formerly with the Neward Star-Ledger: "Journalism is needed now more than ever, from the smallest profiles of ordinary people to the investigations of where the bailout money is going." Amen. Read comment(s) or leave a comment What Makes a Good Reference? May 19, 2009 9:31 AM Who will be your reference?

 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
