Location: Jersey City NJ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dow Jones Newswires is seeking an editor to join its equity markets team and mine publishable scoops and intelligence from the world of blogs. The successful candidate will be aggressive, self directed and interested in blogs and their proprietors, but must also possess the news judgment and high standards needed to separate the mean spirited and the overly speculative from the insightful and the useful. The editor's main responsibility will be funneling short, spirited and well-written items into "Market Talk" - effectively Dow Jones Newswires' running blog on corporate and market developments. There will also be the opportunity to write about developments at prominent blogs and trends in blogging."Is it just me," asks my friend, "or is Dow Jones advertising for someone whose job will be to steal blog posts?" Quick answer: yes. Only please to call it "research". See web-only content:
