About a year or two ago when MacRumors was hiring writers, I applied. I have over five years of experience in professional journalism spanning newspapers, websites, and magazines. I submitted my application and samples yet never heard back, not even a "No thank you," (I expect this from large companies, but MacRumors, really?).
I harbor no harsh feelings over the above when taken alone. However when I read an article like this and see obvious defects (lack of information as detailed in this post) that not even a rookie student journalist would make, I question what exactly comprises the hiring process at MacRumors. This question obviously leads to: And is there an editor, let alone an editorial board?
I mean no offense to the writers and staff of MacRumors. Truly I enjoy many of the stories, however I yearn for decent writing, and I have a feeling that I am not alone.
Finally, although I have inflicted harsh critique of your website, I would love to be a part of making it better. Are you by chance hiring?
Respectfully,
Dan, longtime reader
