Journalism Jobs - January 2

Welcome to the new year... my resolution is to keep posting. Your resolution should be to get a job, slacker.

On the Guardian, recruiter PFJ are looking for a freelance subeditor for a finance title (14-17/hr). They also need an online music editor, for a retail website, and a content editor for a consumer health site.

Over on Journalism.co.uk, Bath-based Future are looking for an online editor, reviews editor and staff writer for their Windows Vista magazine. Recruiters PFJ are looking for a reporter (21-23k) with a year of experience. Incisive's Legal Week also needs a reporter.

Still on that site, Emap's Health Services Journal needs a news reporter and a deputy news editor. New-to-London SNL Financial needs senior financial reporters.

If by some weird coincidence you speak Dutch (in which case""), a music and games company is looking for a native Dutch speaker for an editorial assistant role -- that one via Gumtree. A startup Gay and Lesbian mag for London is looking for an editor. And the Not For Tourist guides are expanding to London and looking for writers.

Over on GorkanaPR -- and remember, I can't link directly to these, so you might need to click around -- New Woman needs an acting deputy editor (opposed to one who does not take actions?), New Energy Finance needs a sub/writer and News of the World's Sunday mag needs a features writer. Online, MSN's green channel needs an editor. And Diva mag needs a picture editor/editorial assistant.

Hold the Front Page has a billion, including these in London. Avenues Property needs a freelance news reporter, for two days a week. A Hounslow paper needs a chief reporter. The Ealing Gazette needs a senior reporter. And the Richmond and Twickenham Times series need senior and junior reporters.

And on the Careers Group, Informa have advertised their Media Academy. Deadline for apps is February.

Back next week!

So I thought I better post on here, as some of you seem to be worried I'm dead. (I'm not.) The past two-ish months I've been too busy/sick/drunk/Christmased to have time to update this, or even to respond to the very kind comments/emails/facebookings I've had in response to my lack of posts. (Sorry, that was rather rude of me, but things have been really ridiculous.)

Either way, I'll be back at it in the new year, which is like, next week. Crazy, eh?

So Happy New Year, and I'll find y'all jobs next week, m'kay?

Right. Now I'm doing some fundraising for an amazing charity called the Afghan School Project. Basically, we're looking to raise £1,600 to get some more computers into a women's business school in Kandahar -- you can imagine the challenges they face from the conservative culture and the violence... not an easy place to learn.

So if you're one of my legion of fans, who are always (ha, ha) emailing or commenting to say"but how can we thank you?!" -- well, here's how. Click on the widget below to send a donation -- doesn't matter how small -- to the project. If every reader of this site sends £5, we'll easily hit our goal... it's all done over PayPal, but you don't need to have an account with them, just a credit card or bank card.




It'd also be great to spread the word by displaying the widget on your own blogs/sites (click Copy), or sending the plea around to people you know. Thanks!
