Again, WaPo's Not Hiring-Hiring, But It's Accepting Your Op-Ed App

The Washington Post is holding another reality-style contest to award someone a 13-week gig writing editorials for the paper.

Or, if you believe Justin Peters at CJR, “ten amateur columnists will compete for a tentative and poorly-paid thirteen-week slot on the Post’s op-ed page.” (The whole piece there is hysterical, but we digress.)

Prospective applicants must send the Post a 400-word opinion essay by Oct. 21, and then the top ten will compete in a reality-TV-style set of challenges where each week, a few contestants will be voted off the “island.”
