Q: I've always turned to your site for advice. I have a question. Does it look bad to continue to work at newspapers that have the same circulation? When I graduated college I always wanted to work for a larger circulation newspaper but now I feel like my priorities have changed. For me, quality matters more. Does that make me look unmotivated?

A: Congratulations.
You have learned something valuable about yourself and newspapers. It is usually better to work for a larger newspaper. It is ALWAYS better to work for a better one.
Trust your instincts on this and don't worry too much about what others will think. You will have a good explanation for them.
