The Miami Herald's publisher is desperately seeking people who are desperate enough to work for the Herald

Miami Herald publisher Alexandra Villoch posted this job opening on her Facebook page last Friday.

The Herald is looking for "experienced, aggressive sales professionals" to join a "powerhouse group of proven professionals," she wrote.

My first thought when I read Villoch's post was, who in South Florida is so desperate for a job that they'd want to try and convince businesses to advertise in the Miami Herald?

The irony here is that a newspaper that can't afford to hire enough reporters to adequately cover the news, apparently has plenty of money to hire sales people...and give them generous benefits.
