The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has an opening for a full-time photojournalist who is self-motivated, has a strong work ethic and is willing to take feedback and develop in a dynamic environment.

The position is based in our Forth Smith Arkansas bureau. This photographer position is part of a six-member photo staff that covers news, sports and features assignments. The coverage includes some University of Arkansas sports.
Applicants must be able to write photo captions using Associated Press style. Experience with Apple computers and programs for photography and multimedia production are a plus.
Ability to meet deadlines and work in a fast-paced and sometimes stressful environment is required. The photographer will report to the photo editor, but also work closely with other editors and reporters, so communication is an important skill.
