Journalism Jobs.com ^ | 5 December 2007 | Unknown

Posted on 12/05/2007 4:06:11 PM PST by shrinkermd

CBS is expanding its coverage of the environment. We seek a talented reporter/host for Internet video broadcast. We are looking for smart, creative, hard working up and comers, who can bring great energy, creativity and a dash of humor to our coverage. A deep interest in the environment and sustainability issues will serve you well.

You are wicked smart, funny, irreverent and hip, oozing enthusiasm and creative energy. This position requires strong people, reporting, story telling and writing skills. Managing tight deadlines should be second nature. Knowledge of the enviro beat is a big plus, but not a requirement.

Responsibilities include reporting and hosting two to three news packages per week plus daily writing for our blog. You should be comfortable using a video camera and the Internet. Be prepared to see America. Heavy domestic travel.

Did they mention it's only a "temp" job?

The way their ratings and revenue are going, it's very much temporary.

That IS funny. It requires "story writing" skills, but no actual environmental knowledge.

Yes, it is funny but they are serious. Perhaps they should interview Michael Savage for the job. If not Savage how about Rush Limbaugh? If not that any old Freeper will do.

Why don’t they just transfer Couric from primetime to ecobeat; she would definitely get more viewership in the internet...

Is this job open to the general public or just any old marxist who can pretend they love America?

Yes, it seems to be a common requirement these days that "reporters" have no expertise in the area in which they are paid to write.

No expertise required...but you have to have drunk the global-warming Kool-Aid.
