Travel the world and get paid for it? Sounds like a dream job to us. No wonder a recent posting for a yearlong travel-journalist stint on The New York Times ignited such a tweetstorm and so much discussion in every corner of Journalist Internet — and beyond.
The writer would be working on the NYT's annual 52 Places to Go. According to the post, "We are seeking a correspondent who will go to every destination on our list and tell us the story of each place and the story of life on the road. The ideal candidate is a permanent student of life and astute documentarian of the world."
