Saw a link on journalism.co.uk to a blog post about how journalism students need new heroes, which in turn had a link to a post (with oddly similar design and color scheme...) on how to land and keep a job in journalism. Key point from both, if you're too lazy to read 'em: get some techie/online skills, kids, 'cause you're going to need them...

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.

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".

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?

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