A New "Coach" For Education Reporters

Looking for work?  The Education Writers Association is advertising to fill a new "public editor" position. 

It's not so much a media critic or watchdog who gives a voice to public concerns about education coverage, like other public editor spots at the NYT, etc.  The new EWA spot is more about providing a journalistic coach for newsroom reporters who want to do better work, with some gentle suggestions to the rest of us along the way.  You know, constructive criticism and all that.

Obviously it's not for me, but what do I know?  It sounded cool enough for EWA to Lumina, Pew, Joyce, and others to pony up the money.  For all the details, go to ewa@ewa.org
