So, I've been trying to send my portfolio and resume to newspapers, still optimistic that I could get a job. My dead at the School of Journalism sent it to people he knew who worked in the business with companies that own papers, and I've been emailing it out to others I can find.

But I haven't gotten one single response back. Not even a "Thank you but we just laid off 99.9% of our staff and aren't rehiring."

Am I emailing to the wrong person? I email it to managing editors, photo editor, etc. Am I titling my email wrong, am I asking the wrong questions? Can anyone offer any advice?
