From an anonymous writer:
Check into TV and TV web sites. A local TV station news director in my city contacted me about a job running their web site, and later offered me the job.
Long and short — saw the handwriting on the wall and took it.
The TV folks are so happy to have someone with my print reporting experience. Aside from the news director, I have the most local news experience of anyone here, and they take advantage of it.
I’m sure this won’t work for everyone who gets laid off, but don’t dismiss behind-the-scenes at a local TV news as an option. You’ve got valuable skills they can use.
