Two Weeks Free Trial; Brand new journalism jobs, internships, fellowships, grants, webinars, workshops, conferences and awards; Free access for laid-off journalists
Hello folks, hope everybody is well and welcome to the largest journalism job board and calendar in the world.
It's that time of the week where we update you with hundreds of the latest opportunities from the world of journalism. Today we have plenty for everybody, especially as we're under a month until the U.S. Presidential Election, with several webinars and workshops to help journalists and editors of all levels of seniority best prepare for what promises a monumental next few weeks. Check some of those opportunities out below. We also have a newly updated jobs and internships board, with some of the latest news organizations included below.
And be sure to check out some of our featured postings also below, from our friends at the University of California-Berkeley, University of Southern California, and The Dallas Morning News.
From last week, I want to remind you that we have upped our free trials from one week to two weeks, so you have plenty of time to try-before-you-buy. I’m confident you’ll want to keep subscribing after that period, but if not, just cancel before the two weeks are up.
And 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.
170+ 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 as always, 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! 🤘
