Who Wants to Be a journalist?

Staff Writer - Editorials 12/12/2010

The rumors are true, the Greendale Gazette Journal Mirror is returning! What is the Greendale Gazette Journal Mirror? It is only the official newspaper of Greendale Community College. I have been waiting for this day my whole life. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the Greendale Weekly (mostly because I get to write every article and do what I want), but the Gazette Journal Mirror is the epitome of journalism at its purest and best form.

I have dreamt about being the Editor of the Gazette Journal Mirror since I wrote my first article about the difference between soda and juice boxes in the third grade. It was more of an exposé really. Now that this childhood dream is coming close to being a reality I would do almost anything to be Editor. The one problem… Dean Pelton wants Jeff to be the new Editor.

Making Jeff the Editor of the Greendale Gazette Journal Mirror would be a great idea except for the fact that he has no journalistic experience, he is lazy, he’s only in it for the class credit, and it’s my dream gosh darnit! I am just too talented to be a staff writer for the rest of my life.

That is why I have taken it upon myself to find a new staff writer to replace me. Once the position of staff writer has been filled, I will be available for the Editor position and I will have more time to plead my case. How will I pick this new and qualified staff writer you may ask? Good question.

Every applicant will be required to submit a short writing sample as well as take a quiz on journalistic rules and ethics. So click HERE to take the quiz and see if you have what it takes to be a journalist for the new and improved Greendale Gazette Journal Mirror, and please, don’t tell the Dean about my elaborate plan. Good luck!
