It's Monday, so here's some from the Guardian jobsite...

Informa's Scrip Pharmaceutical magazine is still (I posted this last week, I think) looking for reporters.

This is super cool: TalkBalk Thames is recruiting for an assistant story editor to work on The Bill -- "role would suit someone with administrative experience who has a proven passion for TV drama".

Journalism Jobs - December 8

On LondonCareers.net, recruiters PFJ are looking for a reporter (18-21k) with six month's experience for a daily newspaper for a B2B firm. They're also looking for a content editor (17-18k) for a defence publisher in Surrey.

The BBC needs a part-time content producer for the writersroom website.

Guardian Unlimited need a community moderator. Pan European Recruitment have advertised on the Guardian for a private equity reporter.

GorkanaPR have posted their big list of jobs today. They've got an advert from Bella for a celeb writer, from the Morning Advertiser in Crawley for a reporter and from the Africa Conservation Fund who need an Assistant Editor.

Journalism.co.uk has that same Morning Advertising reporter job and one for a features writer, too. The Grocer -- also out in Crawley -- needs a features editor. And the Mail needs freelance website journalists.

On HoldtheFrontPage, a news agency is looking for a trainee reporter with NCTJ qualifications and shorthand.

Gumtree has an advert from a B2B publisher looking for a trainee financial reporter (15-16.5k). And a new sports/music/theatre blogging site is looking for writers.

On the Careers Group, some literary agents want an intern.

All you students are going to be pretty bored over the next few weeks, so you may as well try and get some work experience in. Check out the work experience page, or these new shiny one's I've tracked down:

- Travel/tourism website LondonNet.
- Charity OpenDemocracy (starts in January).
- Events website What's On When need interns and freelancers.

And check out the BBC's work experience page here. You might also want to try to get some shifts over the holidays, working cover on those days no one else wants to work, at places like the Mail, listed above.

Switched over to the new Blogger Beta thing, so apologies for the random posts in the RSS feed. No idea why that happened, but it did.

Today is my last day of the slack-ass job that allowed me so much time to run this site. I've got lots of time off coming up, but we'll see how things go in mid-January when I start the new job. I might need to work on my time management skills...

Journalism Jobs - December 7

BBC needs a content producer for a children's educational site.

On Journalism.co.uk, the super-cool NMA is looking for a reporter with some experience and a news editor. And ITN is looking for online broadcast journalists.

HoldtheFrontPage has an advert from the National News Press Agency, who are looking for a picture desk operator and photographers.

On Gumtree, a copywriting company is looking for freelance writers (£9/hour), especially students.

A few new jobs at Emap. Weekly newspaper Broadcast is looking for a deputy chief subeditor. WGSN needs a kidswear associate editor and a researcher. Media and Marketing Europe needs an editor.

On Press Gazette -- so nice to see them back! -- an email marketing agency needs a managing editor. I wouldn't exactly call that "journalism", but I'm just happy to be linking to PG again. This weeks edition is apparently going to reveal how journo jobs are being outsourced to India -- which makes absolutely no sense. How would that work? This sounds -- I hesitate to admit, having not read the story, and being happy about PG's revial -- pretty silly.

Okay, sorry. Back to the jobs.

Another new website is being launched, and it's hunting for freelancers on Craigslist -- but this time, they pay (£25/article).

NatMag's Zest needs a temporary chief subeditor -- tho I find it hard to believe that won't go to an insider. Incisive have a few subediting and reporting positions still up.

The Careers Group has a part-time job at a media website (9/hour).

Congrats to Chris, who got a job via this site: "I’ve applied for two jobs from the site and was successful for one which has got me my first real taste of journalism (a screening) and I’m going to do a review for them on Thursday, so I’d just like to say thanks!"
