“Across our industry it is harder to find managers and proprietors who grasp the essence of journalism. It is difficult to reconcile that somehow, with all our communication skills, we fail to convey, even to our own employers, the worth of what we do.”
—Chris Masters, Australian author and TV journalist, 2008

Poynter's Jill Geisler wrote an open letter to potential employers on behalf of journalists. Maybe it should be sent to news orgs' executives and investors. At the least, the unemployed journalists should work these thoughts into their resumes and job interview responses. I know I will.

That is a good idea to work those into resumes and job interviews. I am for sure going to keep that site in mind.
