Local Writer Will Pay You $15/Hr To Create A Wikipedia Entry To Support Her Story For The NYT

What a crappy job.

I'm still hung up on "memoir/investigation." What the...?

Isn't this unethical? Creating source material to support an investigation? A feedback loop. Like ol' WR Hearst said "you give me the pictures and I'll furnish the war."

Not just a Wikipedia entry, a website, too, right? If it was just the website, I wonder if it would be less suspicious. Books have websites, so maybe this article could. It does seem like a stretch. The job posting doesn't make that much sense. I wonder if it's intentionally vague. I guess, generally, the whole thing is baffling (as is this comment, at this point).

$15 an hour for a website? Fuck you, lady.

Ha! I think I love you, Rose.

This looks like (it was) a job for...

MyWikiBiz!

If only someone, somewhere, knew how to find the guy behind MyWikiBiz, Katy's problems could have been solved. But (as Rose notes above), for $15 an hour, she's loony tunes.
