Poynter Is Your Spam Filter’s New Best Friend

The only reason most of you visit Poynter’s website is to troll through Jim Romenesko’s blog link dump. Hey, we do too! (Where do you think half our stories come from?)

But did you know Poynter, the “the number one journalism site in the industry,” also has a job posting board, like Mediabistro’s, only cheaper? (Seventy-five dollars to MB’s $279. Ouch.)

We had nearly forgotten about it — until we posted a job opening on JournalismJobs.com (in case you hadn’t heard, Jossip is hiring!). It took about a half hour between the job listing going live on JournalismJobs before our inbox was stuffed with a note from Poynter’s director of biz development Colleen Eddy — asking us to use their job listing service.

And we thought it was Andy Serwer’s day for poaching.
