400+ journalism opportunities inside — your ‘yes’ is waiting
Hello folks, happy Wednesday and welcome to Inside The Newsroom — journalism’s job board.
This week I want to talk about how, sometimes, one win is all we need.
Whether it’s a single reply from an editor. One ‘yes’ after a dozen silent applications. Or simply a pitch that lands and reminds us why we’re doing this in the first place.
In the moment, progress rarely feels like progress. It’s cluttered, slow and full of doubt. But then, something breaks through — and everything shifts. When this happens to me, my energy immediately lifts and I feel my ceiling of potential suddenly rise.
If you’re still in the waiting game, don’t let it convince you that you’re not getting anywhere. Too often in life, the win shows up just before you were about to give up.
So keep sending. Keep applying. Keep going. One small win can change everything.
And to help with that: we’ve packed this week’s newsletter with over 400 new opportunities — jobs, pitches, fellowships, grants, and more.
Let’s get into it… 👇
