Last month, blogger Susannah Breslin offered $100 to the young female journalist who came up with the best guest post for Breslin's Forbes blog, Pink Slipped. She received a lot of offers, which on the one hand you could say is a discouraging statement about the media business. But some of them were very good ideas, so that's encouraging, and the winner was impressive. Now Breslin is making the same offer to a male journalist, aged 18 to 25. She writes:
These days, finding a job working in journalism isn’t easy. I’ll give you a chance to showcase your work this month on this blog. The rest is up to you.
Her deadline to submit is Thursday.
