✍️ Journalism Jobs, Freelance Opps, Internships, Fellowships, Events, Awards and Salaries ✍️ — May 28
Your next journalism job, fellowship, or $15K grant might be inside.
Hello folks and welcome to Inside The Newsroom, Journalism's Job Board.
I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the first signs of summer. Thanks for bearing with me last week while I cheered on my football team in Bilbao. We got the win and I’ve been in dreamland ever since.
With summer just around the corner, it can be tempting to slow down — and sometimes, that’s exactly what we need. But if you’re currently on the job hunt or navigating a career change, this time of year can also be a brilliant window to gain momentum while others pause. Whether it’s refreshing your portfolio, making that connection you’ve been putting off, or applying for that role that feels a little out of reach, small steps now can lead to bigger opportunities come autumn.
And speaking of opportunity: this week’s list is another big one. There are hundreds of journalism jobs, freelance gigs and internships, as well as fellowships, grants, awards and workshops across a range of geographies and experience levels — so hopefully there’s something for everyone.
As a reminder of our current special offers, you can try our premium services free for two weeks, or become a paid subscriber today for as little as $7/month or $12/year.
