Gift Subscriptions to Inside The Newsroom Now Available
Half price gift subscriptions for the holidays; Plus $400k/£300k worth of active fellowships, grants and awards; 1,000 journalism jobs and internships; 12,000 media salaries
Hello folks, happy Wednesday and welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom, the largest journalism job board and calendar in the world! 🙌
Now that we're in December, it's time to start feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, with plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks. For me, that means lots of food, sports, family and friends.
When it comes to gift giving, I've always been a bit skeptical, and not just because I want to keep my wallet in my pocket. I’ve always tried to see through the hysteria of buying things for the sake of it, because before we know it, the holidays become more about what we want instead of what we already have (unless there's 50% off everything and you can forget all of this).
Maybe it was just my family, maybe it was just me, but all too often we were swept up by the notion that the more money you spent, the better the gift. But all too often, that mindset is a fallacy and, turns out, some of the best gifts I’ve given and received have cost not much at all due to the sentimentalism, or simply the effectiveness of the gift.
All of that to say, if you’re struggling to know what to get somebody this year, or want to be a little more precise and deliberate, then perhaps a gift subscription to Inside The Newsroom would fill that void. Your giftee will receive free access to thousands of journalism jobs and opportunities, and it will cost you as little as $3.50/£2.75 for one month, or $30/£24 for the year. These are one-off purchases, so there’s no need to worry about ongoing charges. Click the button below for more information.
Here’s a quick reminder of everything your giftee will receive:
1,000+ journalism full- and part-time jobs and internships.
130+ journalism fellowships and grants, webinars and conferences, awards and competitions.
12,000+ historical media salaries from the start of 2023.
Direct line to Daniel’s inbox for any questions about journalism or life.
Coming (Very, Very) Soon: Hundreds of freelance opportunities and pitches.
If you want to instead gift yourself, you can do so by subscribing below, also with a 50% discount for your first year. You can cancel at any time without any notice period.
Anyway, to this week’s newsletter and we have hundreds of new journalism opportunities added to our database, including more than $400,000/£300,000 worth of grants, fellowships and awards to apply for on our calendar. We’ve left tasters of everything we have to offer below, including some sponsored job postings.
