| Chitownwritergal | Posted – 6/27/2008 5:35:44 PM | show profile | email poster Hi, all. Do local pubs (i.e., Trib, Reader, Newcity, TimeOut) have people on-staff whose job it is mostly to write and edit the listings (jobs, dining, bars, clubs, events, etc.)? Or are these tasks typically shared among existing staffers? I would guess the latter situation is more typical, because I never find ads for listings editors, but I want to be sure I am not missing an opportunity. I wonder if prospecting emails might be worth sending. |

Generally listing are complied by editors on-staff. If I were you I'd go ahead and send prospecting emails. |
