MSNBC Interactive Showcase

Finally, MSNBC.com has a clearly defined space for interactive/multimedia work linked off of their front page.

Anyway, some nice work from the IP team at MSNBC.

CNN Job Ad

Salary: Video Journalists are at will, hourly employees with an annual salary equivalent to $22,500. Video Journalists are guaranteed a scheduled 40-hour workweek with the potential for overtime. Video Journalists are expected to work all major holidays, unless they fall on their scheduled off days or during designated vacation time.

Is this what a journalism degree gets you?

We've heard the phrase Video Journalist thrown around alot - but I can't imagine this is what they were talking about.
