For anyone with solid CAR skills... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wynn, Matt Date: Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 5:17 PM Subject: [NICAR-L] Opening at the News-Leader To: NICAR-L@po.missouri.edu I am moving on in Mid-May, which means -- surprise! -- there's a job opening here in Springfield. The boilerplate language is below; I'd love to answer any questions you may have off-list. The Cliffs Notes version is that this is a freakin' fantastic opportunity for somebody with data chops who wants to grow their online toolbox. Management is very supportive, there's ample time and encouragement for experimentation, and the newsroom is hungry to learn. Sunshine Law in Missouri is very kind to CAR types, and there's a willilngness to spend on information. Responsibilities include landlording a data ghetto and managing calendar and archive operations. There's a staff to oversee, and another hire is on the way. Here's the fine print requirements (honest opinions free of charge): Applicant absolutely must be handy with spreadsheets and any database manager. PHP/MySQL knowledge a big plus. (Efforts to hammer through something else = futile. But there's also something to be said for learning on the job.) Proficiency with ArcView. Javascript/AJAX is good (Again, no shame in learning on the job.) As for the boilerplate: "The News-Leader Media Group in Springfield, Mo., seeks an innovative and passionate editor to lead and shape our efforts to gather, analyze and distribute data or a variety of print and online publications, including newspapers, magazines and Web sites. The ideal candidate for this position is a journalist who loves numbers and can help us use those numbers to explain the world around us. We're looking for a journalist who can engage the community in many different and unique ways and is a fervent defender of federal and state sunshine laws. The job requires excellent computer, reporting and analytical skills; the ability to cultivate diverse sources and create innovative ways to gather and disseminate data, passion to work with reporters to develop data projects and the polish to represent the company in public ? whether before the Chamber of Commerce or an elementary school class. Knowledge of PHP a plus. Because the data editor oversees a staff of five, supervisory skills also a plus. We're a Gannett media company and at the forefront of developing content for multiple print and online platforms. We're reinventing our newsroom, so you'll need to be energized by innovation and change. Our reporters and editors create multimedia content ? including audio clips, podcasts, videos, photos and photo galleries ? and interact with our readers/users through blogs, online forums and beat advisory groups. Up for the challenge? Send your cover letter, resume, and print and digital work samples of your data work by e-mail to editor Don Wyatt via e-mail at "dwyatt@gannett.com" We have competitive salaries, a 401(k), and health and education benefits. For its size, the News-Leader Media Group has one of the most diverse newsrooms in the country. We embrace diversity and all the benefits that it brings. Springfield is the third largest city in Missouri and in the state's fastest growing region. It's an easy drive to Kansas City and St. Louis. The area is home to Missouri State University and several nationally-recognized private universities and colleges. It is a regional health care center with two large systems. Branson, a national live entertainment and leisure destination, is nearby. The region boasts a highly diversified economy and is annually rated one of the best places in the country for entrepreneurs and small businesses. It's also among the most affordable places to live. Springfield is in the heart of the Ozarks mountain region, which has an international reputation for great outdoor recreation, including world-class hunting, fishing and canoeing.
