Thank you high unemployment rates.
Things in the United States aren’t so hot. The economy has gone down preventing many people from attaining jobs. The housing market has been blasted by laser beams. Foreclosure and bankrupcy are common terms used these days. An area that is been wounded deep are the newspaper newsrooms. According to the American Society of Newspaper Editors approx. 2,400 journalists have left their jobs.
Ex: The New York Times Co. is down by 45%. So if the economy continues plunging downward Charles Layton predicts that ” we may begin seeing, pretty soon, big American cities with no daily newspaper”. Shit. Wait- there is hope for these journalists though.
India. What? Wait-huh? Yes. India.
Newspapers, new dailies and magazines are just sprouting on a monthly basis. Raju Narisetti is the editor of Mint, a publication that caters to economic elites or aspiring elites. He was the former editor of the Wall Street Journal Europe. He wants to help those journalist’s who seem to have lost hope in finiding a job.
“India is a fascinating country where history is being made in many respects so it is a fertile place for good journalism. Hopefully some of the non-Indian journalists will have a better understanding of India when they do go back.”
I’m shipping out to India
