The newspaper job of the future
Even though I know there are many community weeklies that exist in this manner, I tend to be dismissive of — even laugh at — such jack-of-all-trades job postings (my college newspaper was more sophisticated than this).
“Plan publications, focus and coverage. Cover community events; conduct interviews and take photographs; write and edit stories. Maintain rapport and active exchanges with residents, schools and government. Layout and paginate newspaper. Supervise Sports Editor and Reporter.”
Sadly, though, I can also imagine a time when almost all newspaper jobs are like this, though I hold out hope that the decline of newspapers does not spell the decline of journalism, while knowing that there is going to continue to be a painful transition period.
