Similar to opinion columnists, editorial cartoonists work on the Opinion desk to prompt public debate and share their informed perspective on issues that matter to the UO community.
But instead of using words, they rely on artwork or visuals. Cartoonists use images to convey thoughtful opinions on local issues in a way that’s entertaining, impactful and easy to digest.
Responsibilities include:
-
Pitch editorial cartoons to the Opinion editor and work with them to flesh out ideas.
-
Create one editorial cartoon, accompanied by a title and caption, every week.
-
Coordinate with the Opinion editor to verify dates and deadlines for publication.
-
Attend weekly desk and all-staff meetings.
