The classroom for visual journalism
Sports designer opening at the Daily Journal in Kankakee, Ill.
Not part of the official job description: I am half of the current design team and this would add a third. This would be a great job for any recent grads with some interest in design as you will get quite a bit of creative freedom and the ability to do what you want to do online — be that podcasts, video, interactives.
