Craigslist for a job?

Q: Would you reccomend putting out a classified ad in Craigslist or E&P stating that I'm a journalist looking for work, or would that be counterproductive?

Brian

A: E&P might work.

Editors, who are already grumpy about the loss of classified advertising to Craiglist,  are just catching on to looking there for used refrigerators. We are not going to look there for journalists.
