We may be in a recession, but Ed’s still a firm believer in the vitality of magazines. Jobs are a bit harder to find, but they are still out there. So keep the faith, Edsters!

NOTE: All of Ed’s jobs are word of mouth, and unless it says “OK to mention Ed,” don’t say you heard about the job from Ed! Ed always posts as much as he knows, so if you don’t see contact info, it’s because Ed doesn’t have any—use your sharp reporting skills to track down a contact. Here’s where you get new listings.
