. . .

They've also advertised on TotalJobs for a content editor in Surrey (18-19k).

On Gorkana, new online woman's magazine twistedfairy.com is looking for voluntary contributions. Email Sarah Saunders at twistedfairymagazine@gmail.com for details. Why do all women's magazines have to use pink? Why?

Estate Agent Foxtons needs a features/copywriter.

A children's magazine needs an editor (20k).

. . .

And this is what the New Statesman's Peter Wilby thinks about job hunting at the big papers:

Fleet Street papers don't like advertising vacancies. Editors feel decent journalists will make themselves known without doing anything so mundane as filling out a job application. They have a mystical belief they can sniff out a star by casual encounters at parties or a brisk perusal of the smarter magazines. For senior posts, they pride themselves on "contacts" who tell them who's worth poaching from rival publications... this "informal" (as sociologists call it) mode of recruitment may help explain why growing numbers of journalists seem to come from a closed metropolitan circle.

Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure he's not looked for a job in oh, a million years, but it's true you don't see big papers/publications advertising all that often...

Press Gazette may be ressurected -- already? Wow, that was fast. Awesome quote from the administrator, Robert Allen: "I can't say much more because these things are sensitive but today is a new day. And I'm looking forward to it." So optimistic, without saying anything. Ex-PGer Martin is pretty quiet about it on his blog...

Kelly went to the Media Careers Day thing, and wasn't impressed, saying it "was pretty much a waste of time. I mean, if you know about the Guardian jobs website and the BBC jobs website, that's about all that was there that was useful for anyone who wasn't a 16-year-old." Anyone dis/agree?
