✍️ Journalism Jobs, Freelance Opps, Internships, Fellowships, Events, Awards and Salaries ✍️ — June 25, 2025
Take action this week: 500+ new journalism jobs, freelance pitches, and fellowships waiting for you.
Hello folks, happy Wednesday and welcome to Inside The Newsroom — journalism’s job board.
Last week we talked about the invisible walls we build for ourselves — hesitation, self-doubt, and the fear of starting. Noticing those feelings is taking a huge step forward, yet is only half the battle.
Self-doubt doesn’t go away by thinking. It fades through action. Small steps, done consistently, are what build confidence over time.
So if you felt a flicker of motivation last week, let this be your nudge to do something with it this week. Apply for one thing. Reach out to one person. Take one uncomfortable but productive step forward.
And as always, we’ve got the opportunities to help you do exactly that — more than 500 new jobs, internships, fellowships, freelance gigs, and resources below.
Let’s get to it 👇
First up — we’ve got another huge round of opportunities this week. More than 400 new roles across full-time, part-time, fixed-term contracts, internships, freelance gigs, fellowships, grants, events, workshops, conferences, and awards.
Plus, we’re continuing our new feature: each week we’ll highlight a journalism tool that can help with your reporting, productivity, or career development. Scroll down to check out this week’s pick.
