📝 Job Board Update — Feb. 8
423 new jobs taking our total up to more than 1,500!

Also be sure to check out January’s Data Corner, where we listed 23 data sources we used last month. Lastly, check out last week’s Inside The Middle East where we dissected the latest news from the region. Okay, enough talk, new jobs below!

We added 423 new jobs to the board over the weekend, meaning we finally broke the 1,500 barrier, and it won’t be long before we reach the big 2,000! We also have 106 deadlines in the next 10 days, and we’ve made it slightly easier to filter jobs by city and state/country.
Newsrooms include the Associated Press, Applied XL, Bell Media, BuzzFeed, ESPN, the Financial Times, Moneysupermarket, Newsweek, NPR, Politico, The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, the Washington Post and Toronto Star.
Due to a limit on the number of people that can be added to a Google Spreadsheet, I’ve made two versions listing exactly the same jobs, so no need to have access to both. If you’re a paying member, you’ll have access to one of the two below links/buttons… 👇
