✍️ Journalism Jobs, Internships, Fellowships, Events, Awards and Salaries ✍️ — October 9
TWO WEEKS FREE FOR EVERYONE; 350 new opportunies including journalism jobs, internships, fellowships, grants, webinars, workshops, conferences and awards programs; Free access for laid-off journalists
Hello folks, hope everybody has had a productive week so far! It’s that time of the week again, as the largest journalism job board and calendar in the world updates you with hundreds of the latest opportunities in journalism.
This week I restarted my Spanish classes and I was quickly reminded just how inept I am at learning a new language. For all the Spanish speakers reading, please send me your good energy as I attempt to navigate el subjuntivo. 🙏
Before we tease you with what we have in store for today, I want to plug our free trials so you can try-before-you-buy. We usually offer just the seven days, but we’ve upped that to two weeks free. I’m confident you’ll want to keep subscribing after that period, but if not, just cancel before the two weeks are up.
If you’re new to Inside The Newsroom, or need a quick refresher, here’s everything you’ll gain with your free trial:
Inside The Newsroom Free Trial
1,000+ journalism jobs and internships.
160+ 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.
And if you’re in the unfortunate position of having been laid off recently, or are worried about your job security, we want to help. Email daniellevitt32@gmail.com and we'll get you set up with free access. 🙏
That’s it from me this week. Check out some of our featured postings immediately below, and our tasters of everything we’ve added this week below that. Have a great rest of the week and speak to you again soon!
