Thermopolis
A newspaper in one of the most beautiful scenic states in the U.S. The job is benefited and has a decent starting salary, especially considering the cost of living. I was paying about $400 for rent and utilities. It is a little town, so it would be a new experience for anyone interested in journalism to start on the ground floor. Also, the job requires photographing community events, spot news, features, pretty much anything and everything that qualifies as news! I didn't know a whole lot about photography when I started there, but there is plenty of opportunity to learn and practice, so it would be a great opportunity for aspiring photographers or students interested in learning more!
