Our Paying the Watchdogs research found NJ journalists earning salaries that don't match the state's cost of living. Same burnout and financial-health strain LION's dashboard is now tracking across indie newsrooms nationally.

Every newsroom has someone deciding what gets covered and who goes where. At NJ PBS that job is open. It is hiring an assignment coordinator to run the desk: watching for breaking news, dispatching reporters and crews, and booking guests. $75,000-$85,000, full time in Montclair.

codex is a much better deal per dollar than claude code running fable 5, which burns tokens like crazy. i prefer to run fable as an overseers and route the most of the heavy code review to codex to keep my anthropic limits in check here's what my setup looks like codex.amditis.tech

Field-guide-style banner on a pale green background. A header bar reads 'Field guide — Codex code review' at left and 'Trail CR-01 · in daily use' at right. The serif headline 'The Codex review setup I run' has 'I run' in rust orange, above a subhead: 'How mine compares to the viral codex-plugin-cc post, for engineers and for everyone.' A circular stamp at top right reads 'Field-tested, in daily use, 2026,' and a row of illustrated cattails runs along the bottom.
