CNN may be on hiring binge, Kavanagh reports

Heartening words from Jim Kavanagh:

Word is that CNN.com and CNNMoney.com are about to go on something of a hiring binge. Those who want to give it a shot should check www.turnerjobs.com and/or send resumes to brooke.bakalar@turner.com (that's for news jobs in Atlanta) or chris.peacock@turner.com for CNNMoney (business news) in New York.

These are not reporting jobs only. Copy editors, designers and people with graphics and photo skills (for a position they call associate producer) also will be needed.

CNN also is planning to open numerous one-person bureaus all over the country, including Columbus. The candidate should be able to take photos and use audio and video equipment competently, as well as report and write. They will be feeding both the broadcast and online operations. Could be an exciting opportunity for the right person.

If I get more or better information I'll pass it along.
