Online local news is Apple, circa 1982. Get on board.
You: An organized, Internet-savvy go-getter who has always wanted to run your own sales force.
Us: An up-and-coming Catskills news startup that needs a sales whiz to craft our online ad sales strategy.
Prerequisites: Your own form of transportation, fearless familiarity with the internet and social media, and a firm conviction that the customer is always right.
You'll be a crusader on the quest for the Holy Grail of journalism: A homegrown, 100% local, sustainable business model for news on the Internet. If we crack this, we will have succeeded where the likes of AOL and the New York Times are still floundering. And we're going to crack it. Because being small and nimble is a virtue in this space, and because we are earning goodwill from the community that not even the deep pockets of Arianna Huffington can buy.
