When did “Preditor” become a title?

“We have an immediate need for a Preditor (Producer + Editor) to support one of the most important and inspiring software companies in the world of design and digital art. The Preditor will work on our paid social advertising and short-form social media needs. This includes producing content for a variety of social channels. Come join a wildly creative and fun team.” - from an Aquent recruiter email.

I first heard it in the journalism world well over a dozen years ago. Journos, producers, camera ops, sound techs and editors used to form 5-person teams, until budgets got slashed and many outlets started having the producers edit, since they were closest to the story, leading to the rise of the Preditor. Double the work, very little raise in pay.

The new lingo is “pred(a)tor”...

Took three days off to be with my wife while she stays at the hospital to visit her mom, who just had a stroke.

For those of you debating whether to take the time off, trust me, take it.
