Ex-PD staffer, daughter both looking for jobs
Who will find a job first -- ex-PD columnist Fulwood or his young daughter?
"Amanda and I find ourselves in the job market together, each consumed by our bleak prospects," writes Sam Fulwood, whose daughter graduates from college this Sunday. The ex-Plain Dealer columnist says "so far, the reinvention thing hasn't worked out for me. It's not so easy for sober and serious reporters to Twitter and Facebook our way into the affections of folks Amanda's age, let alone the editors and publishers now clamoring to win their attention."

It takes someone with imagination and business savvy to give you a picture of how to reinvent yourself.
For instance,(Fulwood) could make your mark in the non-profit realm. Every agency needs your skill set. For example, create your own publication highlighting efforts and updates for non-profits in the area. it could be print and online based through email newsletters.
You do not have to target you daughters demographic. Target everyone. Newspapers have always missed something from a perspective of the community, to the right story at the right time, to a difference of opinion.
Everyone has an untold story. Make yourself a resource or voice for those who need to be heard.
