Ed2010.com was founded by a former editorial assistant in 1998. Chandra Czape Turner was, at that time, trying to climb the editorial ladder in the magazine world. Turner went on to become executive editor at CosmoGirl!. But her site -- Ed2010.com was named for the date Turner and her friends wanted to be running the magazine industry -- remains a great resource for those looking to break into the media business, especially magazines.

The Pros and Cons of the "Whisper Job"
Ed2010.com’s job listings are called “whisper jobs” because some of them aren’t publicly posted. The idea is that an insider heard about a job and then told someone at the site. That said, not all of the jobs posted on here are actually whispers. Some are, but some you will find posted on public job boards.
