If you're wondering who the new faces are circulating around the COJO Department office for the next week or so, they are candidates for a new journalism faculty position. The department brought in the first candidate for interviews this week and will bring in the other two finalists next week.
The department is looking for a new faculty member with a specialty in new media to teach courses in online, digital media and video streaming. Whoever is hired would begin work at UW in fall semester 2010.
During their visits to campus, each candidate will meet with COJO faculty and students. They also will present their research to a graduate student class.
We're excited about the hiring process and believe that a new media specialist would fill a gap in our curriculum.
If you get a chance to meet one of the candidates or attend a research presentation, let us know what you think. We welcome the input.
