Posted by: siliconalleyinsider in Silicon Alley Insider
The folks we’re looking for have the following characteristics:
- Smart
- Accurate
- Persistent
- Fast
- Funny
- Effective
- Ambitious
They’ll enjoy reading publications like the Economist, Calculated Risk, ZeroHedge, the NYT, the Wall Street Journal, Gawker, the Post, and The Business Insider. They’ll care deeply about writing relevant stuff that you want to read. They’ll want to find out cool stories and info and then tell you. They’ll appreciate great writing and analysis by others, and they’ll want to share it with you. They’ll try hard to be fair and right–and when they blow it, they’ll say so. They’ll listen carefully. They’ll be bold and engaging, not boring and wimpy. They’ll be funny.
