Now THIS is the Randy Michaels we all know and love.  A “radio war” in 2012?  Who else but Michaels?  Here’s the copy from an ad his Merlin Media ran in Tom Taylor’s newsletter.  It was the most interesting (and amusing) thing in today’s issue.  A Merlin employee recent told me, “Randy has finally erased the line between madness and genius and can now see the future.”  Boy, I hope that’s true.  Because we could use a jolt of energy and fun.

“Are you an award winning journalist seeking a new position? Do you have years of experience in a traditional newsroom? Do you have the training and talent to decide what people need to hear? Do you use jargon to demonstrate your competence in the language of news? Are you cynical, stubborn and committed to the playbook of traditional journalism? If so, you should send your materials to Michelle Komes-Dolge, News Director, WNEW-FM, Laurel MD.

“Are you willing to throw out the rule book? Can you write clear, colorful and interesting stories? Send something that blows us away to: Merlin@merlinmediallc.com.
