A stellar example of journalistic values

Not.

A friend found this posting on San Francisco’s Craig’s List. I wonder which publishing company is advertising for someone to turn press release chutney into faux journalism, at $30 per “story.” I hope it’s nobody I know.

Headline: Re-writes of Press Releases into articles

We need someone to re-write about 30 press releases into short articles. Subject matter will be Enterprise Software Integration ie SOA, ESB, BPM, SOA Governance etc.

We will select the Press Releases – articles should be 300 words.

Please send note with experience and writing samples about Software Integration or related subjects.
