There’s a Commonwealth Club event on the Future of Newspapers tonight at San Jose City Hall. It’ll cost non-members $15, which I think is a little weird for a public event at City Hall, but whatever. It’s free for students, so check that link and read the fine print. I called the number and left…

Looking for jobs in all the right places
Every j-school student knows about sites like Journalism Jobs and Craig’s List, but have you ever searched for gigs on Simply Hired, Beyond, or PageBites? Luckily, you don’t have to.

Knight Ridder sold
The New York Times and others are reporting that Knight Ridder has sold to McClatchy.
