What is an appropriate salary for an entry-level reporter for a digital newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch in New York City? I’m getting the idea that it would be $55-$65K and would like to know how to be at the top end of that salary.

I have 3 years of experience and my current salary is 69K, I think that for a beginner the most important thing is to gain experience and then you can get the raise.

Yes... this. Remember how teachers drilled into our heads that we needed to "consider the source"? All news is not created equal. And if I get another chain email I'm going to scream

Right?!?! I have snopes.com bookmarked, every time someone posts something like "did you know batteries last longer if you store them in the refrigerator" I just respond with a link to the article debunking it. Simple yet effective.

It's kind of sweet in a way because it shows that people used to be able to trust each other more. So I really wish it could be that way because life would be a lot simpler. The thing that really bothers me is when people keep reposting the same "missing person" cases without checking first to see if the person has already been found, because the same pictures and stories keep making the rounds years after a case has been resolved. Then everyone gets all panicked over something they don't need to.

Hi guys, so a friend of mine has been head hunted for a job as a designer position for a interior design company. His current job is a good position which puts him on track to be creative director in 2 years. His current job is a great role, loves what he does but he’s not being paid as much as he should and he’s pretty curious about this other job offer. He’s thinking of going for a meeting with the other company. What kind of questions do you think should be asked in the meeting?
