Go, Read: The Beat On New DC Comics Job Openings

Heidi MacDonald over at The Beat caught something I didn't: the forthcoming move to Burbank from New York City for the rest of DC Publishing has led to several job postings. They're are as scary and as jargon-heavy as you might imagine, which is always funny given the roots of comics publishing as the kind of job where you can smell the ink in the offices -- it wasn't really that long ago, and a lot of publishers still operate basically that way.

One reason I wanted to pull that article out, though, is I think there's potential for immense change in that country's culture moving from one coast to another, even though it's not guaranteed. While there are always going to be people interested in working in comics publishing, connected to a big media enterprise or not, I would have to think that there's a kind of person gravitating to Los Angeles that's different than those that end up in New York. The percentage of hires that come from a slightly different, more geographically determined pool could be intriguing.
