New photographer
Molly Bartels will join us as a photographer later this month.
She's been a shooter at the Vero Beach (Fla.) Press Journal since 2001. She's won awards from the National Press Photographers Association and the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors. Molly has a master's in photojournalism from the University of Missouri, and a B.A. in history from Hillsdale College in Michigan.
Update: Also, Jayme Elrod will join us as a designer on the copy desk. Jayme comes to us from the Steamboat Pilot & Today in Steamboat Springs, Colo. A UNC grad, her honors paper was titled, "The Unreal World of Reality Dating: How Reality Television Influences Emerging Adults' Perceptions of Dating Norms." Sounds like a good fit!
