Journal-World is seeking a talented leader to serve as its next Director of Advertising and Marketing. The Journal-World is the leading media organization in Douglas County.

We understand that our advertising is a tool to help our clients grow and prosper. The director also will oversee marketing efforts to attract new digital subscribers to LJWorld.com and KUsports.com, both of which have well- designed subscription programs that have produced growth every year since their inception.
