✍️ Journalism Jobs, Freelance Opps, Internships, Fellowships, Events, Awards and Salaries ✍️ — June 18, 2025
500+ new journalism opportunities including jobs, internships, fellowships, grants, workshops awards and freelance pitch calls...
Hello folks, happy Wednesday and welcome to Inside The Newsroom — journalism’s job board.
This week I want to touch on the obstacles that we perceive to be in front of us. Sometimes, the biggest ones aren't external — they're the ones we quietly build ourselves. Hesitations. What-ifs. Self-doubt. A single missed opportunity becomes a story we tell ourselves: “Maybe next time. Maybe I’m not ready.”
The same goes for opportunity. Sometimes, it’s not a lack of time, money, or skill — it’s the invisible wall of hesitation. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of starting.
This week, let’s knock down just one wall. Apply for something. Pitch something. Email someone. You never know what happens when you act before you’re ready.
First things first — today’s newsletter is packed with fresh opportunities. We’ve got more than 500 new listings, including full- and part-time jobs, internships, fixed-term contracts, freelance calls, fellowships, grants, events, workshops, conferences, and awards.
