Our work earned top honors - the sweepstakes awards - in the largest circulation categories in both the Illinois Press Association and Illinois Associated Press Editor Association journalism contests in 2012. The BND is a 50k circulation daily, and bnd.com gets more than 7 million monthly page views.

    The successful candidate for this position must have excellent page design, copy editing and headline-writing skills, embrace both print and digital and be willing to learn new moves as part of a continuous news operation. Responsibilities include helping to manage our website in the evening, from editing and posting content to ordering the news.

    We expect all of our team members to be passionate about local journalism and to work well with others across the newsroom.
