Journalism Jobs - August 30

Sorry for the lack of posting, I've been on vacation. Wait -- I'm not going to apologise for that...

Anyway, I'm not going to repost everything from the last week, as surely you know enough to check Guardian/Journalism.co.uk/Gorkana when I disappear, but here are the most recent ones and a few of the more interesting ones from the past week.

On Gumtree, a telecoms publication needs a content editor. On HoldtheFrontPage, Barcroft are looking for photogs and videographers. And if you're willing to move to Leeds, Ross Parry are looking for trainee "real life" features writers.

Over on GorkanaPR, a shopping social network called OSOYOU needs staff, Weight Watchers needs a subeditor, a hotel magazine needs a freelance technology writer, the Independent needs a personal finance reporter, Daily Mail needs a finance reporter and Registered Rep needs a writer/reporter. Pink News needs an intern.

And on the Guardian -- I'm still not sure about their redesign, it's kind of hard to read... I like pictures, alright? -- TNT magazine needs a subeditor, an aviation group needs a production assistant, and estate agents Foxtons need an editorial assistant and features writer. And Pearson Education needs an editorial assistant.

There's about a dozen and a half on Haymarket. Don't make me write them all out, just click here.

And on the JournoBiz fourms, a mobile phone site needs bloggers.

That's it for today -- more of me playing catchup tomorrow!

Journalism Jobs - August 20

On the Guardian, a healthcare publication needs an editor (a step up from subbing, they say). A B2B publisher needs an editorial assistant (14k). NatMags needs a fitness editor. Computer Reseller News is looking for an editor.

And the Guardian itself needs an editorial assistant for its professional division.

Journalism Jobs - August 17

On Facebook, some dude is looking for music writing interns for two days a week. There's no mag name or email address, so you'll have to facebook him. But based on creeping his profile page (the things I reduce myself to, all for you!) it's this site: Rocklouder.co.uk.


Over on Journalism.co.uk, Incisive's Computing is looking for a senior reporter. Dow Jones needs a pair of financial journalists. Forward planning group the Year Ahead need a research intern (17k). And Emap's First is looking for a celebrity editor -- I think that means you edit the celebrity pages, as opposed to editing celebrities, or indeed, being an editor who is also a celeb.


The Guardian as an advert from recruiters Reilly for an assistant editor (22k) while TMN are looking for a reporter and PFJ need a subeditor.


Academic publisher Sage needs an editorial assistant/assistant editor -- well, which is it? A small book publisher needs a production assistant.

The Observer needs news and business subeditors, and the Guardian itself has readvertised that G2 junior commissioning editor role -- if you haven't applied, hurry up. It says the deadline was Monday, but the ad went up today... No idea if the site is busted or if someone's stupid.

On Journalism.co.uk, mobile content provider Que Pasa is looking for a content editor and some website needs a homepage editor -- but will you really just edit the homepage? what about the rest of the pages?

Sorry. Moving along. Adfero are now also looking for researchers (17k). And Pira have advertised again.

And this was on Gorkana's mailout, if you're really bored:

Ricochet - Looking for journalists for a new Channel 4 documentary

Following the RSA drugs report which came up with a scale of harm listing alcohol as more harmful than cannabis and ecstasy in that order. Hannah Lamb Assistant Producer for Ricochet is looking for journalists in their 20's or early 30's who are happy to admit to the occasional or more regular use of one of these substances and allow us to follow the effects that it has on their body over the period of a month. They would take the journalists to Holland where there would be no legal repercussions and where they have a great university who will be monitoring the effects. Hannah wants journalists who would be interested in this type of experiential journalism and would like to have a further chat about the projectHannah can be reached at hannah[DOT]lamb[at]ricochet[dot]co[dot]uk.
