The current newsbot’s programming has gone awry and it now thinks it should work for someone else!
Sacrebleu! What should we do?
Find a new newsbot, of course.
Yes, that’s right. Aaron has decided to spread his wings. He’ll still be here for the next few weeks prior to his move to greener pastures, but he’ll be sorely missed after he logs off for the last time.
That means TTAC has an opening in its newsroom.
The news editor position is grueling, but rewarding. The hours can be long, but flexible. The work is hard, but opportunities are endless.
Ideally, we are looking for someone in Detroit, or close to it (that means even you Windsorites can get in on the action), but we’ll consider candidates from elsewhere. Top candidates will have previous background in news production and editing. The more years you have in the industry, the better your chances. Newbies will need to make up for their lack of experience with strong determination.
Interested? Want to apply? This is what we’re looking for from you.
– A resume/CV with all your work experience, education, etc.
– Samples or links to previous written work.
– A “cover letter” — which can be in the email body — of why you think you should be America’s Next Top Newsbot.
Send all the above to mstevenson@thetruthaboutcars.com. We will reach out to potential candidates over the next week or so.
This is one job that my MSW will not help at all. Oh well I guess I will keep my day job.
Sounds like one of them jobs ya ain’t make any money doin, and you’re just there to get your name out and find something else.
But one bennie is abuse from retired engineers angry because they could’ve sworn there was more scotch in the house.
False. TTAC actually pays its writers, which is super rare in this biz.
No, this is definitely a paid gig.
“Any” being a relative term there, not literal!
Dead Weight would take it but it would move him to far from Caddy HQ in NYC so I think he will have to pass.
I would only leave current employment if TTAC provided a minimum of a fully paid 3 year lease on a Cadillac ATS 2.0T along with salary, because to do so would be the Dare GreatlyTM.

How about an “imported from China” CT6 instead?

So how many times per year would said Newsbot get to hang out with Jack and his Angels?
That’s up to Jack.
Nothing personal… but working for TTAC? This is a nice blog but not New York Times or BBC
So the only desirable jobs are with giant conglomerates, got it.
ALL STARTUPS AND ENTREPRENEURS CAN GO TO HELL!
Well, unlike the NYT or BBC we don’t deny our biases or expect our writers to conform to a particular narrative around here.
I don’t think we ever pretended to be the NYT or BBC. Your comment is as valid as most of Bertel’s “Hallway Radio” posts.
If I didn’t post my comment it would be bo-o-o-o-o-ring here today.
No, but it is incorrect.
Please provide links to your NYT articles K THX BYE
Wow, you got 4 masthead members to reply, nice troll.
Hey, I hear there’s a bridge over at Jalopnik with a dank spot under it, go! I swear we’ll miss you.
D!ckish statement, slavuta – didn’t expect that from you, brah.
TTAC is still one of the best sites that doesn’t kiss manufacturer a$$ and has industry insiders weighing in, and Mark, Aaron, both Baruths, Martin, Mental Ward, Lang, Alex (yeah, I rip on him often, but not in a mean-spirited way, and he’s thorough), and the rest of the gang do a good job of presenting things on an efficient budget.
Why isn’t Cameron being considered for the spot? She used to do it (pretty well, I think) and even has a driver’s license now. She also has a pretty thick skin, given some of the Neanderthal comments that all too frequently come her way from the B&B hiding behind the anonymity of their computer keyboards.
When did I say she wasn’t being considered?
You can consider me now; I’ve thrown my hat back in the ring! :)
Driving permit. No license yet; been in-transit for over a month now.
And hear I thought Doug-bot was acting up…
I’ve been requested to submit at least two different articles to TTAC by different authors, I never heard back about my submissions.
Maybe I take too long to write my articles?
Honestly, I haven’t had much chance to look at the submissions received from my last request. I’ll get there. I promise.
Given your frequent article output, and welcome active participation in the comments, I should’ve figured you were quite busy!
I’ll keep re-tweaking the Z600 article when I get the chance, I’m hoping to have more pictures soon.
