National Public Radio has a job opening for a blogger. It sounds like a cool job. The lucky candidate will manage an NPR.org blog described as…
[A] daily guide to the events of the day and notable stories on the network and the Web; uses news judgment and a lively prose style to present a singular perspective, writing and reporting original items and drawing other NPR reporter/correspondents and listeners into analysis and discussion; may also host a podcast of the day's top on-air stories; and may serve as a public representative of National Public Radio, Inc.
Oh, and it also says some silly junk there about how you must have "a passionate desire to join the blogger 'A' list." Snort. My fellow "blogger D-list" colleague JJ Sutherland adds
Other qualifications not mentioned are a strong liver and deep fondness for insult-flinging world leaders. Willingness to drunk-dial foreign bureaus on deadline also a plus. Unfortunately, pajamas aren't encouraged, although I can count the times I've seen our new CEO Ken Stern wearing a tie on the fingers of one hand.
