Request for Talent, and a Milestone
Hey RT community! Guess what– we’ve passed our 5000th diary! It happened sometime late last week. This means we’ve written an average of 6 articles per day over the last 2 years or so. And that’s not just writing, it’s research, interviews, site maintenance and upgrades, team building, and talent recruitment.
That’s a lot of work for a bunch of part-time hacks who apparently hate America (according to Sarah Palin and the right-wing). But we’re glad to do it if it helps make our corner of the country even a little better. But man, I’m going to drink like a pitcher of margueritas when this election is over.
Speaking of talent recruitment, we’re looking for a few good people. RT is a team of part-time, team-oriented political junkies. We’re movement progressives and all about getting a progressive point of view out into the local narrative. If that sounds interesting to you, and you’d like to contribute a guest essay or two, contact us and let’s talk. If you have writing samples that you can send us, all the better.
Something else I would love to get into is doing cartoons like this. If you are, or know of, a progressive caricaturist or artist who would be interested in giving this a try, boy have we got some ideas for you! Contact us and let’s collaborate.
Finally, thanks to all you readers who, over the years, have racked up an impressive 20,000+ comments! I appreciate the discourse on RT, which is (almost always) respectful and constructive, representing conservatives, independents, and progressives.
