WCPO Announces Expansion Of Kevin Necessary’s Role

I've written about this specific arrangement before now: cartoonist Kevin Necessary has been doing cartoons and a few more comics-related things for the Cincinnati ABC affiliate WCPO. Unless this is one of those re-runs that occasionally pops up in one's feed, vexing the shit out of all 19 of us remaining link-bloggers, they're expanding that role to a full-time gig.

Any cartoonist/comics-maker with a full-time editorial driven job is news because of the dwindling ability of newspapers to hold onto such staff positions. Working as a supplementary contributor to a television station -- many of whom have aggressive new media departments -- seems like a potential landing spot for a few people. I would imagine that a cartoonist that can do animation could be folded into several operations, too, but the seemingly static nature of the work created this gig really interests me. I've seen a few of the cartoonist's efforts "in the wild" and had no idea they weren't done for a newspaper.
