Staff Photographer Opening in New England

My move to Boston has created a staff opening at the
Valley News in West Lebanon, New Hampshire.

This is a great paper in a beautiful part of the
country. Photography is well respected here, and the
photo staff is given plenty of time to work on
projects.

If you have any questions I’d be happy to help answer
them. The official posting is below.

Best,
Channing
