Prison Journalism Project Director of PJP Learning (Remote Position) in Chicago, IL [1]

[]

Date: 2023-08

Prison Journalism Project (PJP) is looking for a Director of PJP Learning, who will oversee our PJP J-School curriculum program and the PJP Publishing practicum, which consists of our online publication. We seek a candidate with experience in journalism education, adult learning, the newsroom and leadership.

In a country with one of the world’s most expansive incarceration systems, some of the most important voices in our ongoing conversations about crime, justice and punishment — incarcerated people themselves — are too often missing from the dialogue. The ideal candidate must appreciate the importance of shedding light from behind prison walls.

PJP is a fast-growing independent, non-profit journalism and education organization that aims to train incarcerated writers with the tools of journalism, so they can be published widely and contribute to an informed and intelligent public discourse about mass incarceration. We believe that intentional, responsible and well-crafted journalism from within the incarcerated community can break stereotypes, provide timely information about conditions inside America’s many prisons; and help create opportunities for writers after they re-enter society.

The director of learning is a new position that will oversee our training program and ensure that our key programs are synergistic, so writers develop their skills and progress along PJP’s training progression in a relatively timely manner. The position will oversee PJP J-School, PJP Publishing practicum, PJPxInside training newspaper and the Prison Newspaper Project.
