Just wanted to bring everyone their daily dose of comic irony.
It's no secret newspapers of the dead tree variety are having financial problems due because of the internet. Content is more easily digestible by consumers in searchable, linkable, blogable bits and bytes.
But the internet opened up a second front in its' war to destroy print media. Craigslist. Yes, newspapers once saw a huge chunk of their revenue come from classified ads, a format all but destroyed because of Craigslist and other web services like job and service search sites. Newspaper publishers like to complain about this fact at great length and mau mau Craigslist for advertising "adult services" apparently forgetting they've long been the source for escort and "masseusse" ads.
So guess where the Seattle Times decided to advertise for an Associate Video Producer for its website?
Craigslist.
UPDATE: Apparently I should look further before destroying my chance at a job. They're also advertising for a web designer. Oops.
Have I ever mention I always liked you guys better than the P-I?
