The newspaper placed the following advertisement on the Journalism Jobs website Monday:
The Joplin Globe is looking for an aggressive, motivated reporter to provide community coverage for counties in Southeast Kansas and Northeast Oklahoma. Coverage will involve schools, city councils and county commissions, features, profiles and enterprise/investigative reporting. Applicant must have a bacehlor's degree in journalism/communications or English and a valid driver's license. Send resumes to Andy Ostmeyer, Metro Editor, The Joplin Globe, at aostmeyer@gmail.com., or to P.O. Box 7, Joplin, Missouri 64801.
I am NOT interested; it what does it pay?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry. You have even less of a chance of becoming a local reporter than you do of becoming a public school teacher ever again.
ReplyDeleteBut we do enjoy listening to you whine, so keep it up.
The Globe could use an expanded story base...
ReplyDeleteHard to apply for a job that pays $19,700 a year, expectations are to generate a lot of local copy from a large coverage area (one person for all of northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas? It would take one person to cover just Miami and Pittsburg properly) and the Globe mileage reimbursement is half that of most employers and zero cell phone allowance. It's not worth it unless you are a recent college graduate who is looking to get a job right out of college and use it as a stepping stone to something bigger and better. Only reason Globe is doing this because of the recent cuts made by the papers in Miami and Pittsburg and a concerted effort to sell more papers in those areas.
ReplyDeleteIf only they were seeking a new editor!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet they will still never call poor Turner.......
ReplyDeleteTo 5:14/4:58.
DeletePlease allow me to respond in a manner both fitting, and readily understood by one of your apparent intellect...
Nanny nanny boo boo,
Stick your head in doo doo.

ReplyDeleteMay I remind you that while you consist of adhesive, I exhibit a more resilient quality. Ergo, those epithets you intend to cause me harm are simply reflected back toward their source.
Have a lovely and blessed day my friend(;
My distressed soul, 3:35:
DeleteThere was no intent to cause harm in my comments. The adjectives used were simply cloaked in truth. Your incoherent, low brow come ts are neither worthy nor entitled to a response. Further, anyone attempting to project an image of themselves, by speaking of imagined qualities....well that should tell everyone all they need to know about a person and reflects poorly upon the poor soul. Until next time....
Are these Anonymous actually Globe staff?
