Now Hiring: Want to join the exciting field of print journalism?

Are you experienced? Hands-on? A trouble shooter? A journalist? Then The Kansas City Star has an exciting opportunity for you. Join the Star‘s shrinking workforce and run the business department. Among the requirements:

• Has

  a vision for covering the biggest story in the world right now but can

  bring those economic issues back home to Kansas City.

• Understands, embraces and has ideas for multi-platform business products.
• Can work copy and push stories to A-1 while developing a strategy for daily business centerpieces.
• Brings energy and creativity to meetings and to problem-solving.
• Works well with his staff and also with other newsroom departments.

Not listed among the duties — but most assuredly one of them — will be deciding who to layoff if there should be a fifth round of “belt-tightening.”
