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.

Courses in professional branding, cultural competence
December 21, 2012 11:47 PM I'll be teaching two new courses at Michigan State University in 2013. In one, we will learn about branding and marketing by developing the students' career brands and on-line presences. The hope is that the work they do will boost their careers and give them experience that will help them brand other things. In the other class, we will develop a 100-question myth-busting guide to help people become more culturally competent. The students will help choose the group we will study.

I plan to be there for the whole five weeks, as I wasn for the 2009-2012 editons. I'll probably be the only senior in the dorm who is not in high school. The Al Neuarth Free Spirit Journalism Conference will take one student fron each of the 50 states and the Distrct of Columbia to Washington, D.C., for a week in July. I will be working with the Freedom Forum again this year to fill these slots. The Asian American Journalists Association JCamp, usually piggybacks on one convention or another. This year, it will be in D.C.June 21-26 to coincide with the convention of the American Society of News Editors. About 50 high school students. mostly sophomores and juniors will get in. I was on staff for the 2011 JCamp. A great experience.

 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
