      Job Roundup - June 12

      It's a Monday, so it's Guardian jobs day... the Guardian itself is looking for a design/production assistant with two years' experience for a new magazine. There's also a posting for a subeditor for the Guardian; must have two years' experience on a daily paper.

      Al Jazeera is looking for reporters and news editors with TV experience for their London offices (as well as Doha and Kuala Lumpur).

      Still on the Guardian site, an international publishing thing is looking for journalists/sub editors/web page producers.

      Reuters needs news producers with 2-5 years' experience or: "Alternatively, you could be relatively fresh out of media college, with regional news experience or strong technical skills."

      And recruiter Media Contacts has a staff writer position for someone who likes gaming and has two years' news experience.

      And that's it for the Guardian today...

      And if you're into chess, a site is looking for writers on Craigs list.

      Job Update - June 9

      On the Guardian, Recruit Media is looking for a assistant editor for a medical publication. Must have 18 months' related experience (£23k).

      The good people at Journalism.co.uk have posted several cool sounding new jobs.

A "monthly lifestyle magazine based in Worthing, West Sussex" needs an editorial assistant/staff writer for a graduate with a year's experience.

      There're so many on Press Gazzette, I can't keep them straight. I'll leave that to you, as usual.

      And on Jobsite, there's a posting for an editor for some media monitoring group. You need "German and French with additional Spanish or Italian a benefit" for £18k a year...

      Well, it's warm and sunny out... so I'm gonna go outside instead of sitting in front of a computer. You should too...

      Job Roundup - June 8

      On the Guardian jobsite, there're two medical-related jobs up, so if you're a doctor who's always dreamed of reporting, it's your lucky day. Recruiters Reilly need a medical assistant editor/reporter (£23-25) and Contact Media need an assistant editor (£23). Of course, based on the description, it's the same job. (Inspired Selection also has this job posted...)

      On Holdthefrontpage.co.uk, Newsquest need a chief reporter for their Wandsworth newspapers. Not exactly entry level, but worth a look anyway.

      And recruiters Online Content (I'll add them to the recruiters' page) has two openings for web editors/web writers for a government pensions department (look under their online journalism jobs heading).

      On Gumtree, the Sherlock Holmes Museum have again posted the job for the Victorian magazine thing (£10/hour). There's probably a joke here about how they need a detective to find someone for them, but I'm gonna avoid it...

      On Monster, MSN Shopping needs an online editor with two to five years' experience. Need some techie skills for that one. And VNUnet needs a correspondent/reporter with two+ years' experience. And Finextra needs a junior reporter.

      And on journalismjobs.com, there's an interesting sounding long-term internship for Atlantic Affairs.
