'Jilted Journos' Turn Flack

Let’s get real. Journalists leaving for PR happens all the time. This is nothing new to the recession: we’ve always been underpaid compared to our sellout more marketing-oriented counterparts.

And if you’re going to make the jump, you might as well do it right. Jilted Journalists, a new web site by an ex-journalist that helps newspapermen and women make sense of their new futures, has a feature up today about hacks turned flacks. Ignoring the absolutely terrible layout (sorry guys), the piece contains some useful information besides the usual “journalists are valued in other professions because they know how to write” stuff you hear all the time.
