Fresh out of journalism school? Have experience writing, editing, and proofing business to business communications? Adept at Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Adobe InCopy, Lexis-Nexis and other publishing applications? We just found you the best job ever on Craigslist! You can be a copy writer of marketing manuals for American University in Washington D.C. You'll be "responsible for writing, editing and proofreading a wide range of print and online materials including content for our web site, emails to students, and other marketing materials." Oh, and also—you will be a security guard. No joke! "The security guard spends most of the shift seated at the reception desk, and there will be very minimal security duties. Practically the entire shift you will be able to focus on writing copy – you'll just happen to be wearing a uniform." Sadly, you don't get a gun. [Craiglist via FishbowlDC via DCeiver]

For reasons fathomable only to the smart people who went to grad school, Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism And Other Minutiae is still in an uproar over J-school Dean John Lavine's use of some anonymous student quotes in a letter promoting the school. A letter in the freaking alumni magazine. And for god's sake these J-school people just CANNOT SHUT UP ABOUT IT. Allow us to whip off our green eyeshades, set down our press passes, and smack some book-learnin' outta these kids, after the jump.

How can journalism schools encourage the entrepreneurial instincts of would-be journalists?

I'll forward the best of your responses.
