Freelance Writing Jobs

I've been monitoring a weekly, free freelance writing jobs newsletter, Morning Coffee Newsletter, from Janice Jacobs. You can get it by joining the Yahoo! Group Freelance Writing Jobs. This past week, at the end of dozens of jobs aggregated from various versions of Craigslist.com and other job posting sites, I noticed this information:

Usually such sources will bring you in contact with opportunities far from home. However, I discovered my own metropolitan daily newspaper searching for a writer to fill a major reporting position that was not advertised locally. That suggested to me that the person currently in the advertised position was about to vacate. Sometimes such staff shake-ups at publications result in other unadvertised openings worth pursuing if you''re interested in this type of work.
