MSN recently put out a call to hire paid bloggers to write and edit Web sites about five broad topics...
fashion/food/style, music, sports, technology, and television, MediaPost reports. The marketing news site says MSN recruiting ads began appearing on various journalism career sites such as Mediabistro.com and JournalismJobs.com late last week. I have confirmed the report (see screenshot at left from MediaBistro). The ads sought editors to write and produce between 5 and 10 blog posts a day; review user submissions; and monitor comments and feedback. I gave my take to MediaPost for their report. I sum it up in four words - sounds like Mungo Park.
