You want a raise. You got to be kidding. You are lucky to have a job in this economy. Also you performance is poor.Now get down to a gym and shape up you born loser.
And a lot of those newspapers are on their last legs. They haven’t figured out how to compete in the internet world. Even those with a website are struggling. Reporters in most places are now ‘content providers’ who post their updated stories on the website, along with running blogs and tweets on Twitter. Their pay is related to the number of ‘hits’ on their blogs, because ads can be shown. I’m thinking that newspapers are going the way of the encyclopedia. Assuming anyone remembers what an encyclopedia was….
Although I live in Ecuador, I have a paid online subscription to the local hometown paper where I used to reside, in Florida. It is not so much that I want to stay abreast of the local happenings, and city council kerfuffles, so much as I want the newspaper to stay afloat and my small yearly contribution helps. Ditto for my Public Radio contribution. I actually,do listen to WUSF 89.7 Tampa Bay station down here.
