No, I'm not talking about Jan Moir (though I must say her Twitter feed is an exemplary exercise in brittleness. That's right Jan, insult your audience and boast about your salary, dig! dig! dig!)
Instead we ask: when is a journalism job not a journalism job? Why, when it's a beatblogger job, of course. The Guardian is looking for people to write about their local area, using a mixture of online reporting and commentary. And iambic pentameter. Oh hang on, turns out it's not that sort of beat. Sarah Hartley explains more about the project here.
So it's a job combining ye olde journalism skills with tres moderne blogstar skills. Probably pays a bit more than usual, since they're asking for more than usual - that's right, innit?
The Guardian is currently recruiting BB-ers in Leeds, Cardiff and Edinburgh - more details and how to apply here. Closing date: 8th November.
Blogs are so informative where we get lots of information on any topic. Nice job keep it up!!
