Digitaltechnik posted this entry about an odd message to our Medill list serve:
Digitaltechnik: Journalist List Serve receives the most surprising Request:
A search firm sent out this email today (contact information of the firm left out) to a career list serve for PR and Journalism alumni of Northwestern University.
“I am looking for a media consultant to develop a plan (similar to what Martha Stewart’s spin-artists did), for a prominent Chicago CEO who is facing a federal tax evasion indictment later this week.
Wow. Yeah, I’m also on the list serve. I felt kinda weird and funny when I read the request.
