It’s that time again…we are looking for another spectacular assistant coordinator for our Teen Appeal program starting in August 2011. Seriously, this is a pretty cool opportunity. Check out the job ad, below.
Earn your master’s degree in journalism at the University of Memphis and help change the lives of some bright, hardworking teens. We’re looking for an eager and energetic journalist who is flexible and loves to work with young people. The position pays your tuition and includes a $6,000-7,000 stipend.
The successful applicant will become the new assistant coordinator of The Teen Appeal, the Scripps Howard citywide high school newspaper published in the U of M Department of Journalism. He or she will begin in August 2011, have an undergraduate degree in journalism, strong editing skills plus experience in layout and design and reporting for a campus or commercial newspaper. Multimedia and Web production skills strongly preferred.
We’ve been operating for 13 years as a partnership with the Scripps Howard Foundation, our Scripps Howard daily newspaper in Memphis, The Commercial Appeal and Memphis City Schools. Many of the students we work with come from lower-income households, and, in part thanks to our program, our alumni are now working in a number of prestigious positions in journalism and other fields.
This position will allow you to learn more about the news habits of a critical demographic group that newspapers and other media nationwide hope to attract, making this position a potential resume booster. You will also be able to boost your editing skills in a real-world environment.
Please send a letter, CV/resume, and three writing samples (may be in the form of links to online work) to Carrie Brown, assistant professor, University of Memphis Department of Journalism, Brown.Carrie@memphis.edu You will also need to go through the normal University of Memphis graduate school application process.
