I am one of two web developers hired into The Palm Beach Post newsroom since August 2007. Since then, the paper has also procured (received?) a new Publisher (think President/CEO) and a new Internet General Manager (think CIO). I can't really say much more than that, but I can say that it's been a really great learning experience as I watch the company go through this 'change'. The upside for myself and my colleague professionally is that we are in fact the only two web developers here at this point, and we've been given incredible liberty to develop new products (we're using Python/GeoDjango to do so). Traditionally, all web products have been created by a sister company, but the tendency now is for newspapers to take matters into their own hands, as the corporate mothership's Java engineers fail to keep up with the demands being placed upon them (and really, is it any wonder?). In short: want a lot of freedom and opportunity? Consider a declining newspaper.
