Topic: NYT Business Section, NY Post Career Section?

| csthejournalist1 | Posted – 7/12/2007 8:48:38 PM | show profile | email poster Which one, if any, would be appropriate for a Q&A with an author of a book dealing with how to become successful in your career? What day do either of these sections come out and who are the editors? Is Chris Erikson still with the NY Post? I didn't find th information when I did a general search. |
| csthejournalist1 | Posted – 7/12/2007 8:50:37 PM | show profile | email poster Oops. Forgot to mention.... The author happens to be a writer, but the information she shares probably is applicable to any field.... |
| candylilacs | Posted – 7/12/2007 10:41:02 PM | show profile Basically this is workplace beat, a subset of business, so find out a) if they accept these kinds of stories or are they only staff-written and b) retool for lifestyle if that's the case. ------ http://www.mswritesguide.blogspot.com |
| Village Gal | Posted – 7/13/2007 7:40:09 AM | show profile Here we go again... The NY Times has a business section every day. You'd know that if you read the paper. |
| Marie | Posted – 7/13/2007 10:19:00 AM | show profile You might also look into the Wall Street Journal's Career Journal, which takes lots of freelance, pays terrible with an even worse nonnegotiable contract. Your piece will appear online, not likely in the paper. |
| csthejournalist1 | Posted – 7/13/2007 4:48:11 PM | show profile Village Gal Here we go again?! You might try to NOT be so harsh on others. Maybe you're F/T with your writing, or have a job that affords you the time to sit and read every major newspaper. Not all of us are so lucky! This is a forum and is supposed to be constructive, not a place for criticisms. I'm sure at some time you've asked for help....... |
| Metro Writer | Posted – 7/13/2007 10:53:33 PM | show profile Some local papers carry the Wall Street Journal Business Page on Sundays. Hope that helps. While I'm on this message forum, I want to say that I agree that people should be helpful rather than critical. Sometimes it's hard to find out information, even by calling. Helping each other out is a matter of professional courtesy. |
| WordyBird | Posted – 7/14/2007 8:07:18 PM | show profile Sorry, I agree with Village Gal. This is pretty basic stuff. Do your homework. |
| candylilacs | Posted – 7/14/2007 8:58:41 PM | show profile Again, I stress -- if you haven't picked up an issue of the publication you are querying, it's a very, very bad idea. Get to know the market you are trying to crack and you will have much more success. ------ http://www.mswritesguide.blogspot.com |
| Village Gal | Posted – 7/16/2007 6:43:28 AM | show profile no short cuts Whether you are full time or part time, the rules are the same: get familiar with the publications you are pitching. That is the best way to know where your piece fits. |
| ISR | Posted – 7/21/2007 9:44:18 AM | show profile Chris Erickson is still with the Post @Work. Good luck. |
