Journalism Jobs - January 15

Back in the shitty internet cafe... it's soooo slooooow and keeps crashing. I'm not coming back here ever again, I swear. Anyway.

From the NMA job alert, a shopping channel needs an online editor (£27k).

On Journalism.co.uk, McGraw Hill's Platts needs two copy desk editors, a production assistant, a commodity journalist, a news/markets reporter and a reporter/editor . The Reporter -- "the UK’s biggest technology and science news website" -- needs reporters with at least two years of experience and a subeditor. Haymarket has again advertised for a part-time journalist for their direct marketing magazine.

Guardian is thin today -- must have got all the Monday jobs up yesterday... But check their print edition, too.

On Craigslist, some new commercial travel wiki needs writers (paid).

Okay, this is just too slow. Better post tomorrow.

Journalism Jobs - January 14

This is the second time I've written this post. The first version was eaten by a piece of shit computer in a piece of shit internet cafe. (I love paying to waste my time. Not at all frustrating.) And today, my Google homepage is trying to tell me it's December 31 -- I'm jetlagged, but I didn't fly that far. Seems like it's time for a sacrifice to appease the gods of the interweb... any volunteers?

On Journalism.co.uk, Centaur's Precision Marketing is looking for a production editor. Emap's Nursing Times needs a news reporter with two years of experience. Some visa-getting company (I think) needs a senior editor/writer for their website and other external communications.

HoldtheFrontPage has an advert from Haymarket's Brand Republic, which needs a deputy production editor and a subeditor. Don't forget: that site has tons of regional jobs, too.

On Craigslist, an online publisher is looking for part-time sports information researchers (8-10/hour). And a London restaurant guide book is looking for a freelance editor.

The Guardian jobsite has a few. Ocean Media Group needs a feature writer. CMP's Building needs a technical writer and an assistant web editor (to write, upload and subedit). Metal Bulletin needs reporters.

The Folio Society needs a typesetter/page layout person. Lewisham Council are looking for a magazine designer (£26k). Wigmore Hall needs a part-time publications assistant (£15k pro rata).

NatMag's Real People needs an assistant editor. John Lewis' internal magazine is looking for an editor (£32k). MotorSport is seeking a managing editor, an art editor and an editorial assistant (offers some writing and subbing).

And here's a good one: a recruiter is helping some new magazine launch and another restaff. They need journalists, picture editors, designers, subeditors from entry- to senior-level. Experience at a consumer monthly is not essential, but "knowledge of popular and/or high culture, films, TV, or celebrity is vital".

Newswire AFX is still looking for subeditors. Global Insight are again looking for country editors.
A B2B magazine publisher called SameDan needs an editorial assistant. Something called Niche Personal Loans needs a reporter. And recruiters Xchange Team ahve a client looking for an ebusiness journalist to write a blog (£20/hour).

A premiership football club is looking for an inhouse reporter.

Recruiter Reilly are also looking for a graduate commodities reporter. PFJ are looking for a subeditor for a health weekly (£26k), a deputy features editor (£22-25k) and a news editor. Career Moves needs a production assistant (£19-21k).

And a ton of web editor positions -- some requiring techie skills, some not -- from the Royal Schools of Music (£21.5-24.5k), Lambeth Council (£29k), Family Mosaic (£25k), Rambert Dance Company (£18k pro rata/part time), the Science and Development Network, and a publisher called TSO (£20k). It amazes me that these places want someone with writing, editing and web management skills, and yet pay so generally poorly. Anyone this qualified should be making craploads, don't you think?

On the BBC, the Weakest Link needs question writers/researchers. They also need a production team assistant for their "Repeats and Reversioning unit", and an assistant content producer for Slink, their website aimed at teenage girls.

And the Press Gazette wants your help to save the Freedom of Information Act.

Journalism Jobs - January 12

Just a quick post today, as I'm wandering the wilds of Ottawa in hunt of a visa... So I'll probably update this weekend, too.

On Journalism.co.uk, Melcrum need a managing editor (30k).

A website for a children's hospital is looking for a writer/project assistant (£19-24k). And Crain need a technical reporter (or possibly freelancers) for a polymers magazine. They have nice shiny new offices near London Bridge. Will that make up for writing about polymers? Not likely.

The Guardian has a job from Newsquest for an online financial journalist (£22-24k). And Impact Recruitment are looking for an editorial assistant (£15k) for a publishing house.

On The Careers Group, Pearson is advertising their summer internships for "Ethnic Minority Graduates and Final Year students" at their companies, including the Financial Times, Penguin Books and Pearson Education. They pay £1100/month and there is an information night in mid-February.

Haymarket needs a senior reporter for Media Week, a reporter for Human Resources, and a reporter for Third Sector, as well as a part-time senior reporter for marketing magazine Direct Response. Those are the latest in a big pile of jobs recently advertised on that site.

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.
