Full-Time reportrees in decline - Irony!

It looks like they are looking to train reporters, but the prediction is grim. Everyone seems to think they are a reporter, that's the problem.

Companies that subcontract reporters, and are pumping fresh interviews and news into newsrooms for hungry editors to cheaply plop on the front page,  for pennies compared to the cost of a on-site journalist.

One of the biggest subcontractors is US Headline News Corp, though I have to say, they gave freelance work to many of the out of work journalists that had been laid off for the past 10 years.

I was looking into them before I retired. If you know me, you know I love to grumble, but I had heard nothing but positive things from people I know who were employed and under contact. At least they pay the reporters on time! New concept!

I will take a look back into them and get back with you.

The irony of it all.
