      Journalism Jobs - August 30

      Sorry for the lack of posting, I've been on vacation. Wait -- I'm not going to apologise for that...

      Anyway, I'm not going to repost everything from the last week, as surely you know enough to check Guardian/Journalism.co.uk/Gorkana when I disappear, but here are the most recent ones and a few of the more interesting ones from the past week.

      On Gumtree, a telecoms publication needs a content editor. On HoldtheFrontPage, Barcroft are looking for photogs and videographers. And if you're willing to move to Leeds, Ross Parry are looking for trainee "real life" features writers.

      On Facebook, some dude is looking for music writing interns for two days a week. There's no mag name or email address, so you'll have to facebook him. But based on creeping his profile page (the things I reduce myself to, all for you!) it's this site: Rocklouder.co.uk.

Forward planning group the Year Ahead need a research intern (17k).
