Search is on for new NPR ombudsman

NPR is looking for a new ombudsman, reports the Ombuds Blog ("News and Information For and About Organizational Ombuds"). The blog says it's "one of the most high-profile News Ombuds in the U.S., and not the type of position for which there is often a public search." Current Ombudsman Alicia Shepard was appointed in October 2007 for a three-year term. Think you have what it takes to explain the network and its news-gathering issues to the public?
