Sign of the times
How tough is it out there for writers?
Check
this
out.
Note in particular some of the numbers: 5 months without a job; 70+ applications; 200+ responses; a posting up and down in 48 hours.
It's downright discouraging.

Let's hear it for toothpaste and newspapers
When up is really down
Prey (or is it pray?) for editors
Move over Magnum?
I know I'm addicted (to print)
I'm unemployed, not 'damaged'
Another JOLTS jolt
(More) signs of the times
It's official: fewer newspaper publishers
(Still another) sign of the times
(Another) sign of the times
Sign of the times
Status: Fifth Estate
Hear ye, hear ye
Breathe, she said. Just breathe.
