The Las Cruces Sun-News is not just a newspaper. It is a digital first news organization that serves its community by delivering news and information in various formats. We do that through the newspaper, website, mobile apps, Facebook and Twitter. We use Tout, Storify, ScribbleLive, social media and more. A successful multimedia journalist must work fluidly across all of these platforms, understanding the strengths and importance of each. First priority will be to deliver strong, meaningful photos for print and web, and worthwhile photo galleries and videos for web and mobile.
