While looking through feedly I found a story that was very interesting. This is a story about a group of journalist in Philadelphia who rallied to help laid off workers get hired. The story goes on to tell how this story came about; workers were laid off, the Philadelphia Media Network laid off a lot of their workers.

Layoffs really suck, but this story shows you that journalist does have to stick together when it comes to certain situations. Being a journalist is full of competition, and it is very difficult trying to get where you want to in your career. For these journalist to rally to help other journalist get a job is pretty cool to me, it shows that although this is a competition; some journalist actually care about rather their coworkers have a job.

This was a nice story because you don’t really hear about things like this happen anywhere else, I feel like this is good for the journalism industry and it makes for a great story. I wish that something like this would happen more often, but everyone isn’t built like these journalists were.
