W00tBloggyBlogg: u graduated wtf are you gonna do now?
Noah Barron: Boy, I sure wish I knew. I'm looking for a job but it's turning out to be really difficult, given the journalism market right now.
WBB: lol srs? u prolly suck at jourlsm amirite? or maybe they saw ur uggfase on fasebook hehehehe ;)
Noah: I hope not. I think I bring a variety of skills to the table--writing, editing, Web design, video production, photography and graphics, but mostly I'm finding it's well-nigh impossible to get any kind of response from employers I send applications to.
WBB: wtf is well-nigh? also dont end ur sentences w/ a preposition. so like u send apps in & the doods are like "rofl this fool sucks" or wut?
Noah: Honestly, I have no idea. I send out resumes to nearly every position on MediaBistro and other similar media job sites--dozens of applications total--and have never gotten a single return e-mail or call. Not one.
My only job leads are from internships I've done and personal contacts I've made. I guess I'm just surprised that in the age of digital journalism, a digital journalist's digital job searches are so seemingly useless.
WBB: whatvr dood dont cry QQ y not start ur own blog and make bux on ads etc?
Noah: I mean, that's definitely an option. I already have a site, but haven't developed it properly. I just feel like I need health insurance and a steady income coming out of graduate school...is that too much to ask?
WBB: obvi!!!! u should post more lohan upskirts imo :P
Noah: See, that's what I'm trying to avoid. If I'm going to be a DIY-blogger/journalist, I want to create meaningful, interesting content that is relevant enough to belong in a newspaper, but is tailored to an online audience.
WBB: o so like blah blah darfur blah blah global warming zzzzz yeah thatll get lots of hits. gg dood.
Noah: Come on Bloggy, don't you think we can find a way to package socially-conscious, important news for the casual Web reader while also turning a profit?
WBB: ....
Noah: Well, what do you suggest?
WBB: durr y not offer something useful to ur readers instd of whining on the interwebz? that's y most blogs r real boringzzzzz urs included :/
