Be the next Producer of the217.com!

posted by Elle at 8:01 pm.

My one-year reign as Producer is finally coming to an end, and we’re looking for a replacement! We’re looking for a highly motivated, organized and creative person who can manage tasks and staff for online content. The Producer works with WPGU 107.1 FM and buzz Magazine to produce online content in a variety of ways. No experience is needed, but some prior knowledge of online journalism, radio and/or multimedia helps.

Because this is a student manager position at Illini Media, the applicant must be a student graduating no earlier than May 2010. Applicants don’t necessarily need to be here over the summer, but we would strongly prefer to hire someone who plans on being here for one entire year.

Applications are available at the Illini Media Help Desk at 512 E. Green St. weekdays from 9-5:30. They are due Friday, February 27.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to e-mail me at producer@the217.com.
