After expunging hundreds, BJ seeks one

The Akron Beacon Journal has an opening for a metro reporter.

"We are looking for someone who can tell provocative stories that connect with audiences in print, online and through social media. The successful candidate needs to be creative enough to tell engaging stories using all of the tools available to journalists.

"If you have a passion for journalism and want to work with award-winning professionals, send your resume and story links to:

"Bruce Winges
"Editor and Vice President
"Akron Beacon Journal
"bwinges@thebeaconjournal.com  

"A minimum of 1 to 2 years of experience is required."

The BJ had Jim Carney, Marilyn Geewax, Steve Hoffman, Dick McBane, Dennis McEaneney, Terry Oblander, Rick Reiff, Tom Ryan, Dave Scott, John Dunphy and Brian Usher.

But they were among the hundreds who left when the Internet sucked the financial life out of newspapers all over America.

You can’t lose thousands of years of experience without paying a heavy price.
