Job Description
Prison Journalism Project, which trains incarcerated writers to be journalists and publishes their stories, is looking for a part-time contract Art Director. The ideal candidate will have experience working in an editorial environment with a firm understanding of how visuals can elevate journalistic storytelling. They must be a team player, be able to work in a remote virtual environment, demonstrate confidence in their decision-making, and understand PJP’s branding as a small nonprofit organization working at the intersection of journalism, education and criminal legal reform.
PJP is an independent nonprofit startup initiative that aims to develop a network of prison correspondents. We believe that the deep reforms that are necessary to fix the U.S. criminal legal system can only happen through informed, public discourse about mass incarceration. Incarcerated people, who are talked about but are rarely heard from, must be a part of this conversation.
