(salaries vs experience) As far as "meeting" anyone, it's 3,000 miles away from the Saint Louis Suburban Journals! (IL & MO Press Asc Awards) So where is it you're getting your "year of experience"? You can Email (I do allow it) Why waste your or my time if you don't have something constructive to add? I'm not looking to go back to a full time newspaper job. Thus the whim to post here, NEW IDEAS?... Read More »
