Yeah, Charles, it just occurred to me that earlier posts would have expired off CL. I *thought* they'd been advertising for longer. I'm always a little dubious of green/sustainable orgs that can't manage staff sustainability, like burnout is an okay result if you're working for good. Doesn't seem like they have fully grasped the concept.

Grist has been looking for an Executive Editor for at least two months now, if not longer. I've noticed that over the past few years that they start looking for a new Executive Editor every 6 months to a year or so. My guess is that it is a hellish job and word to that affect has gotten around. Now I think they're just not getting the kind of applications they want.

Um, we're looking for neighborhood bloggers at MyZip.net BTW, I interviewed for a role at Grist way back when and they HATED me. Jeesh, do a little time in the MSFT fields and everybody thinks you're a sellout or something...
