Right?!? As Brett Weinstein often says...zero is a very special number. If journalism is destined to be restored in the mainstream sense, then....let there be growth!
Let me know if there is any demand for washed-up ex-physicists!! :):) Think Doc Brown, or an aging Buckaroo Banzai. :) :)
But seriously, folks: I’m glad you’re building on your property. The stakeholders behind legacy media aren’t stupid — they know their old assets are irrelevant. So they are starting to do what conglomerates always do as they finally wake up: buying their way back to relevance. In this case by acquiring the most valuable new-media properties.
The cynics will howl, and teeth will be gnashed. But if journalism is going to be restored in the West, this is the only visible path.
Carry on, boys. Carry on.
Meanwhile… can anybody tell me where to find 1.21 gigawatts so I can get the fuck out of here?!?
Good luck with taking on new staffers, Matt. I hope you find some real talent to make Racket even better.
Full disclosure: I briefly worked as a reporter from 1994 to 1996. I worked for a couple of small town papers in Ohio and North Carolina. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for reasons I won't go into, so I changed careers. That turned out to be just as well, because newspapers are a dying industry anyway, and I should know, because my local paper is going to shut down this May.
I would love to work for Racket, but I just don't have the background you're looking for, and I'm so rusty at this point that you would have to mentor me just like a kid out of college, and I don't want to put you through that.
Timely message. I was just thinking how it's nice to have the ATW pods to bookmark the week but Matt really needs to get back out on the road. Good luck finding qualified candidates and building the brand. I really enjoy the Saltzman contributions.
I bet Bari Weiss is going to be available pretty soon. In case you need someone to run your “Toadie” department. I hope your lies and hypocrisy make you destitute
Hope you can recruit Monica Rowley. She sometimes writes for The Free Press and has written some of the most significant stories I have ever read. She's hot on the migrant child trafficking report, which she broke in October of 2024. After reading it, I knew I could never vote Democrat ever, ever again. Since then, she's written about migrant sex trafficking. The revelations are so revolting and evil, it's beyond words I can put down.
BRavo. Sounds like Racket News is aspiring to become what The Free Press once tried to be.
This is just the natural progression of successful newsletters. They either shrink, stay level, or grow into a full blown news site.
Who knew that honest journalism would be a growing industry?

I just started my independent writing journey with deep dives on regime changes starting in 1997! Glad to see Racket giving voice to new journalists!

Wish I had the desirable skills to take advantage. Good luck to all who apply!!
Why is The south still so overlooked by so many! We are not a monolithic region!
Cool. I'll always pay for factual reporting.
I can make things up.

I'd love to work with youse guys....but I don't know how you are able to do what you do and do it so well! Happy to see growth in the New Media.
Just like the good old days of classified ads in the newspaper. No trees were harmed with this post.
I write well (at least that's what my mommy says), but am totally telephone-averse, so that lets me out. Thanks for the offer, anyway!

I hope a cow walks in front of your car at about 70 mph.
We have these in Canada. We call them "moose" This one is in the USA.

But can they do 70 mph?
Fun at parties ☝️🤡
Would there be any interest in local residents sponsoring a racket reporter for their specific home towns and or states ?
Really glad to see Racket News is growing!!!
