Please pardon a brief commercial interlude.

For those of you looking for work, or for workers, we've made some 
substantial improvements to the JobLink for Journalists website at 
http://www.newslink.org/joblink. New features include:

-- More than 64 search categories, all focusing exclusively 
   on journalistic ads and based on more than two years of 
   research about what jobseekers consider important
-- Ability to register for instant updates by e-mail of all 
   new ads matching your very specific search criteria
-- A blind-box reply service that guarantees anonymity of the 
   advertiser while permitting instant replies from ad readers
-- Tools for online editing and cancellation of ads
-- A QuickSearch feature that allows single-click searching 
   in the 13 most common combinations of categories

JobLink continues to feature more than 280 current journalistic jobs, 
with absolutely no delays in posting or replying. We use it as a 
slogan, but it's really true: JobLink is the fastest way to a 
journalistic job.

Until Sept. 1, all ads will continue to be posted for free. After 
Sept. 1, help-wanted ads will cost $49.95 for unlimited length and  
will feature a 100% no-risk guarantee. If you're unhappy with the 
results for any reason, simply write cancel on the bill -- no 
questions asked -- and owe nothing. You won't even have to have a 
purchase order number or credit card to place your ad. And jobseeker 
ads will continue to be free.

We invite anyone to compare JobLink's cost, audience reach (more than 
100,000 searches monthly) and effectiveness with any alternative job 
listing, online or in print.

While at JobLink, you might also want to check out AJR NewsLink's
special State of the American Newspaper sub-site
(http://www.newslink.org/special) and vote on the new QuickPoll
questions related to the series' first two installments -- dealing 
with the Chicago Tribune's "synergy" strategy and the declining 
number of independent newspapers nationwide.
