LARC Tip of the Week

I would like to say "you're welcome" to everyone who wrote in thanking LARC for the tip of the week. I know last week's tip was simple, but you'd be surprised with the number of people who try to get into the news business without watching news at least once a day. So again, watch the news!
The tip this week is just as simple. "Read the newspaper. Everyday. The whole thing, including the Op-Ed, the obituaries, health sections, sports even cartoons. The best journalist should be able to talk in depth about every major subject in the news. Hey, did you read Doonesberry today? You never know if that migth lead to a conversation with a well-read news director. They'd be impressed if you could simply talk about Doonesberry, or Boondocks or The Farside, for that matter. The newspaper is a great, if not underappreciated source, for the incredibly wide range of information published everyday. So, if you don't read the paper daily. Start now.

Next Week's Tip: Preparing to put together your resume tape.
