New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.

As the great Tim Gunn says, “Designers, make it work!” Who What Wear is on the hunt for a full-time graphic designer to create daily content and other creative assets for the online fashion and beauty magazine.

If hired, you’ll be responsible for designing story layouts and in-house promotional media such as banners, buttons and newsletters. Expert knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are obvious requirements. There’s also a fair amount of photo editing involved, so you’ll be expected to be a whiz at color correction, too.

The company is looking for a highly creative self-starter, who can work in a fast-paced environment. Experience in fashion is a major plus, but a sincere interest in it will go a long way as well. If you think you’ve got what it takes, apply here.

An individual with knowledge of the situation said the cuts are all high-ranking, highly-paid corporate executives.

Among them: two chiefs in the financial department, one in human resources and the head of administrative services. (All will get three months notice and then their severance.)

For once it’s the higher-ups – and not the bunnies’ bums – that are feeling the squeeze.

AP’s Caryn Rousseau writes:

The idea for his book came after a 2008 blog post he wrote about rice cookers prompted hundreds of comments, with many readers including their favorite recipes. “I think I was somewhat frustrated by not being able to eat and I wanted to live vicariously,” the 68-year-old said during an interview at his Chicago home, his laptop computer speaking his typed answers.

The book includes many of those comments, as well as more than two dozen recipes for dishes such as chili, risotto, jambalaya and oatmeal — Ebert’s favorite. He took a witty and funny tone when writing it; he says he didn’t want it to sound too specialized or difficult.

He’s so cool.

Here’s the pre-order on Amazon.

I was told I was going to be raped. I was told that I was going to be gang banged. I was told that they were going to make sure that I was never going to want to act as a journalist again by making sure that I would be repeatedly raped while I was in jail. While I was in the detention center, I saw numerous young women who were completely strip searched, who were strip-searched by male officers. And one young woman who was coming out, who was completely traumatized, said she had had a finger put up her.

“I was throttled by a cop and later threatened with rape,” Amy Miller, of the Alternative Media Centre, said. “I saw young women being strip searched by men.”

Maryam Adriangi, of Toronto Community Mobilization Network, said she was also threatened with rape.

“I was harassed by police and had racist and sexist comments made against me,” Adriangi said.

Oddly enough, little attention is being paid by the mainstream media to these horrific allegations. Stories by the LA Times and NY Times mention police violence against protesters, but not sexual threats and assaults. Popular media blogs like Romenesko and Gawker have also failed to cover the story.

Jezebel, however, is all over it.

And the Los Angeles Times reports on it. Young people, it seems, are going to these music events called “raves” and taking drugs. At the Electric Daisy Carnival, held this past weekend at the Coliseum, 120 of the 185,000 attendees were taken by paramedics to the hospital, many (but not all) for drug intoxication. And E.R. doctors are shocked that this sort of tomfoolery could take place at a government-run facility, according to the LAT:

In an interview Monday, Dr. Marc Futernick, medical director of emergency services at California Hospital Medical Center, called it “unconscionable” for a publicly owned facility such as the Coliseum to host raves.

“I don’t know why our elected … leaders would allow these activities to take place,” Futernick said.

“This is basically a government-encouraged … drug fest. That’s the wrong message,” said Dr. Brian Johnston, director of the emergency room at White Memorial Medical Center. “It’s putting people at risk unnecessarily. It’s putting people’s health at risk.”

He went on to add, “Kids should restrict their drug use to private house parties, abandoned warehouses, or any underground event where no police or emergency medical staff are standing by.” Wait, we made that last part up.
