The ideal candidate will have recent, substantial professional experience producing journalism in a multiplatform setting. The faculty member will have significant responsibility for shaping the foundational course in the journalism area, which focuses on the core concepts of multiplatform journalism, and for helping to develop a “digital first” mindset among students.
