From Mike Wilson, editor of The Dallas Morning News: "Though this person will spend some time in the trenches making assignments and dealing with budgets, this is mainly a big-picture job. The right person has an opportunity to put a lasting stamp on our visual report. We're looking for an ideas person, an innovator, an inspirational figure. Our newsroom is newly focused on digital journalism, so we need someone who understands how to conceive and tell stories for an audience that is increasingly finding our work on mobile devices. We also need a teacher, someone who can help our staffers improve their skills and learn new things. It's important to us, always, to assemble a pool of candidates with diverse professional and personal backgrounds." Visit https://www.journalismjobs.com/job-listings/1625994 for more information.

A decade of storytelling has led us to this moment - the creation of our first original film, Fight Hate with Love. We are eager to get back to work, finish what we started over a year ago, and give you the opportunity to watch the story of one family trying to come together and heal itself from the traumas and scars of incarceration. We’d like to give a very special shout-out to Howard and Sheri Schultz…

Thirty years after the first cases of HIV, the World Health Organization estimates 35 million people worldwide are currently living with HIV/AIDS. Of these, 3.2 million are children under the age of 15. Today we commemorate World AIDS Day by remembering those who have succumbed to the virus and supporting our amazing collaborators working to treat and prevent this destructive disease. AIDS and Family is Kristen Ashburn's intimate portrait of African mothers, fathers and children being crushed by AIDS. Ashburn's work connects us to these people deeply; we learn that only through such connection is hope possible. GAIA takes the medical breakthroughs of the developed world and brings them to The Far End of the Road. Their focus is one district in Malawi where 1 out of 6 adults are HIV-positive and healthcare can be hours away. 24,000 children under the age of five will die today, many from preventable diseases.
