Well, journalism is about reporting the truth, after all

October 5, 2010

Via Gawker:

The Illinois Valley News recently posted this job ad:

How bad do you want to be a reporter? Bad enough to work nights and weekends? The poor glutton for punishment that’s chosen will cover city and county government. Sports and general interest feature stories.

In exchange for your long hours and tireless efforts you will be rewarded with low pay and marginal health insurance. Please send resume, and 3 writing samples to wonclive@yahoo.com This is a full time salaried position located in the beautiful northwest.

Honestly, I don’t think it sounds so bad. There’s health insurance!
