UPDATE #2: From the AAEC web site:
The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times Free Press is seeking a cartoonist for its opinion pages. The newspaper has two editorial pages, the Chattanooga Times and the Chattanooga Free Press. A successful applicant must be an independent thinker who can bridge liberal and conservative points of view, providing thoughtful visual commentary on the news of the day.
At least 50 percent of the cartoonist’s work must highlight state and local issues of interest to readers in southeastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. The Times Free Press cartoonist’s work will appear regularly on both editorial pages, depending on tone and topic. On Sunday, the cartoonist will provide a cover-quality color cartoon for the newspaper’s Perspectives section.
The Times Free Press (average daily circulation 75,000, Sunday’s 97,000) is a stable, independent newspaper with a strong commitment to community news. This job represents a substantial opportunity for experienced and/or up-and-coming applicants.
Please send resume and 5 cartoon samples as close as possible to 800 X 600 pixels at 72 dpi in jpeg format to: cartoonist@timesfreepress.com
