I posed this question on Twitter:
If you wanted to hire a “data journalist” to support an existing reporting team with data parsing + vis, how would you find that person?
I've documented the responses here. Basically, there seems to be only one job site specifically for data journalists (so far!), and several others, depending on which audience you want to reach (e.g., more focused on development, data vis, or journalism).

In the comments from my last post and on Twitter I noticed a lot of people who had something to say about PHP. The comments were varied but they usally sounded something like this (sorry @ipetepete, I picked yours because it was the shortest).
...the little bits of soul from all of us who've had to work on, and or maintain large PHP applications. – ipetepete
In Pete's defense, he did go on to say that rest of the stack I was using was a "smorgasbord of awesome". Thanks, Pete. I agree!
I would, however, like to take a little time to correct a misperception in the developer community about PHP. I recently got into this same... discussion... with Jeff Atwood, and I seem to be running into it more and more. So here goes. Please bear with me as I cover a little history further on.
Pete, and everybody else, _you're exactly rig
