Zinging Benzinga's Praises
I learned a lot at Benzinga - perhaps not how to avoid terrible puns, but probably just about everything else that matters.
To Benzing or not to Benzing, that is the question
By Harmisha Hoggatt, Benzinga Intern
The first time I saw Benzinga's ad on craigslist requesting resumes for internships I was very interested, not because I like writing but because I thought the name was so odd and unique that the people who work there must be cool.
A Thanksgiving Zing
"On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence." ~ William Jennings Bryan
As we indulge ourselves this Thursday with delicacies in the form of candied yams, thrice-stuffed turkeys, cornbread, cucumber salads and cranberry slices, all covered in gravy, we at Benzinga wanted to take a moment and give thanks.
We Knock The Doors Off Your Doors
It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who once said “To be great, is to be misunderstood,” and when I was first approached about joining a news organization called Benzinga, misunderstood is an understatement.
