ILLINOIS PRESS ASSOCIATION is hiring: Ambitious Reporter in Springfield

The News-Gazette, a medium-sized daily in a Big Ten town, is looking for two versatile, ambitious reporters to join a newsroom that's been named best in its class by the Illinois Press Association eight of the last nine years.

While these are general assignment beats, there is an emphasis on:

1. Criminal justice
2. Business

Experience candidates are welcome, as are fresh-out-of-school journalism grads; we have a mix of both in our vibrant, multi-media shop that includes three radio stations.
