[Journalists] Is the journalism list still active?

[David Andrews]

This list isn't that active, but like all lists, it depends on the 
participation of its members.

We have other lists that may also help with job hunting, job-listings 
and writers' division stylist.

All our lists are at www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/

You can subscribe via e--mail by sending to

job-listings-subscribe at nfbnet.org
or
stylist-subscribe at nfbnet.org

Leave everything blank.
