Craigslist ad: TBD.com/WJLA Seeks Digital News Manager

Craigslist today features a help wanted ad from TBD.com/WJLA. Last week the Allbritton-owned venture laid off much of the staff as the news came that they were becoming a “niche arts and entertainment” site. So this week there’s an ad saying they’re hiring a Digital News Manager. The ad calls for someone who can “engage visitors in our on-line [sic] community” and foster “internal relationships.” Hmmm…does that sound close to um, that weird concept known as community engagement? (That was among the departments they “reorganized.”)

Asked for comment and whether the ad was legit, TBD.com
