Attention, local college grads: Job market got you down? That comparison essay of Swift’s and Homer’s satire not getting you the job at the New York Times you expected? That’s okay. As long as you are skilled in the Gonzo™ style of journalism, you can work for this dude with a business plan of “sort of like that Moscow English language newspaper popular in the late 1990s”:
Sick of the Philadelphia Weekly and City Paper molesting your pupils with pseudo-alternative bile? I am looking to launch a Gonzo-style paper in the fall/winter, with most of the logistics being worked out over the summer. I need a staff. Someone who can design page layouts, a photographer, and some part-time writing contributers. A law student would also be handy to keep us just barely on the right side of libel. More details will be provided later, but you must first prove your Gonzo credentials. Tell or show me in any way you like.
I don’t plan by any means to rip-off the eXile, but if you aren’t familiar with it there is a good chance you are wasting your time. This is a mission designed to offend the general public for about six months and then fail for millions of potential reasons, and we might even be able to make a dollar. Convince me you can work hard to deliver quality Gonzo journalism.
Oh man. I’m totally applying asking to write that column in The eXile where that dude has sex with a hooker and reports on how good she was.
