      And Patrick over at Press Gazette (you may remember he won their reality-tv-styled contest) is doing an investigation into work experience at newspapers: "I'm want to know how many people do it, why they do it and what (if anything) they get out of it. I'm particularly interested in speaking to people that have had an exceptionally bad time (or even an exceptionally good time) when on placements and in getting their opinions on the whole thing." So if you've had a good/bad time, drop him a line at psmith@pressgazette.co.uk.

      Journalism Jobs - January 7

      Welcome to the special Sunday edition... because I missed Friday. And it seems like I missed a big massive pile of jobs. (Though thanks to the time difference, it's nearly Monday morning in London, so this is probably going to put a dent in that edition. Oh well.)

      And the Guardian now has a RSS feed for their jobs search (they call it a "web feed" and it shows up on the page after you've entered your search details).

      On that job site, Hodder Publishing is looking for a desk editor for educational textbooks -- is there any other kind? Centaur's Money Marketing is looking for an investment journalist.

      Egmont is looking for an editorial assistant for their Disney magazines, an editor for their Barbie publication and a subeditor to work on their Thomas the Tank Engine titles. Sounds delightfully childish.
