Gambit Job Board Now Available on AAN Web Site
AAN-member employers may begin posting job ads for displaced Gambit Weekly employees on a new electronic job board added today to the AAN Web site. The jobs can be posted using the same "Manage Job Postings" link that members who are AAN Web site "administrators" normally use to advertise positions available at their paper. In addition, a new field has been added to provide administrators with the ability to indicate whether the position their paper is offering is temporary or permanent. Several members have already begun to offer jobs, housing and other assistance to Gambit employees through this message board created last week.

He then sent the following message via e-mail: "Since Katrina struck, we have been overwhelmed by the enormity of the destruction left in its wake. We are even more overwhelmed by the outpouring of assistance and generosity from our fellow AAN members. This is the highest calling of our organization -- making a real difference in the lives of others -- and proof of what a great group of professionals belong to AAN. We will never forget you. God bless you all."

Forums Available: Tracking Gambit Staffers, Talking Strategynew
Since the scope of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina first became apparent, Association of Alternative Newsweeklies members have been steadily contacting the association's home office with offers of assistance -- financial and otherwise -- for their colleagues at Gambit Weekly. To facilitate the process of getting the paper's displaced employees the help they need, we must first track them down. To that end, AAN has set up a message board where Gambit staffers (and those who have been in contact with Gambit staffers) can post contact information as well as discuss the storm's tragic aftermath.
