Happyjournalist.com
Since I posted about Angryjournalist.com, I figure it’s only fair to add Happyjournalist.com. To be honest, I thought Angryjournalist.com site would be insightful and cathartic, but at this point I avoid visiting. I agree with Meranda Watling on the topic:
The more I read aj.com the more depressing I realized it was that so many people hated their jobs and this industry. I mean, we all need to vent, but surely if you hate it that much you should consider switching jobs.
I consider myself a glass-is-half-full person, so I’m happy to see Happyjournalist.com come about. I also notice that it’s full of comments where people leave their real names. That’s encouraging to me (I also posted one).
Unfortunately the posts in angryjournalist.com will always outnumber the posts in happyjournalist.com. Unfortunately some people will always make what is supposed to be a postitive site into a negative one:

i’m happy i no longer work at the seattle times for blowhard editors.
I’m sure the guy who replaced you would agree. Most people I know would give a favored body part to work there.
