Gannett looking for talent (and free content)

Gannett is looking for young talent to help it develop its new multi-platform news gathering operations. It will apparently have a job opening in Green Bay for some lucky person. Read more here.

I also see the Northwestern has modified its navigation bars this morning and is no longer soliciting help with its investigations. Instead it is asking community members to submit announcements and calendar items (the way Oshkosh News has been doing for the last couple of years).

I hope the Northwestern is successful with this. Everything that the paper does to encourage the local community to make greater use of the Internet will benefit alternative sites like Oshkosh News. Because of OCNN's low-cost position and nonprofit orientation, even a little spillover could help a lot.
