400 new jobs and internships; 150 journalism fellowships, grants, workshops, webinars and awards; 11,000 media salaries; Two weeks free trial for new subscribers; Free access for laid-off journalists
Hello folks, happy Wednesday and welcome to the largest journalism job board and calendar in the world.
Hope everybody is having a good week this far. If that has involved searching and applying for new jobs, then I hear you. I used to do a seemingly endless number of hours scrolling through hundreds of roles each week only to apply for maybe a handful, which is ironic as that's pretty much what I still do now minus the actual applying. The process can be tedious and infuriating, but persistence is something that is learned, and has proven to be so valuable to me in so many other areas of my life. Anyway, my point in all of this is to keep going if you’re struggling or hitting the wall, because something great could be just a few clicks away. And of course if you need any help or advice at all, I'm always at the other end of an email: daniellevitt32@gmail.com.
Today we have another bumper edition with hundreds of the latest opportunities around the journalism world. Whether it is jobs, internships, fellowships, grants, workshops, webinars, conferences or awards programs that you're looking for, we have them in absolute abundance.
And if you missed it last time, we are currently offering FREE TRIALS FOR TWO WEEKS, so hopefully that's plenty of time for you to see if we are right for you.
If you're new to ITN, or simply need a refresher, here's everything that we offer to our paid subscribers:
Inside The Newsroom Two-Week Free Trial
1,000+ journalism jobs and internships.
150+ journalism fellowships and grants, webinars and conferences, awards and competitions.
11,000+ historical media salaries from the start of 2023.
Direct line to Daniel’s inbox for any questions about journalism or life.
Okay with that, I'm going to get back to the Spanish books for my mini exam on Friday. ¡Deséame suerte! 👋
