Artist Seeks Writer Lacking Integrity
// August 3rd, 2009 // Funny Job Listings
Any journalist with any amount of journalistic integrity is unlikely to promote someone for the promise of pay. To do so is to put ones’ career in jeopardy. Should the general public learn that your opinion is for sale, they will simply stop reading your work.
From the listing:
Do you write artciles about new artists and get them published on the net or in newspapers or magazines?
I am an artist loking for such a person for just 2 hours a week who can get articles on my art
in print or on the net. Please reply only if you can list URLs with your byline on them so I can check your qualifications.
Trying to pay for good press is shameful. Taking pay for good press is even more despicable. I’m honestly not sure which I loathe more – the artist doing the hiring, or the “journalist” who takes them up on it.

Paying for good press? Correct me if I am wrong, but Isn’t that just another name for PR?
I think PR is usually more along the lines of putting out the info and letting the press report on it if they want to… this is just blatant bribery and is tacky as hell.
