How Many People Has Inside The Newsroom Got a Job In Journalism?

Inside The Newsroom has helped hundreds of people get a job in journalism. Here’s what some of them have said...

“Inside The Newsroom is the best job board on the internet.”

Amos Barshad, Reporter at The Lever

“Daniel’s job board was a tremendous resource when I was job hunting. I looked forward to the weekly update and found many great leads there. I highly recommend it!” — Ant Derosa, VP of Programming at Pluralsight

"Inside the Newsroom is seriously worth the money. It's the best, most cohesive journalism job board on the internet. It was so helpful to have a centralized location where all the jobs were posted, so I didn't have to run around from different websites, LinkedIn posts and tweets trying to keep track of deadlines. It was also great that jobs were added to the spreadsheet as soon as they hit the market so I could strike while the iron was hot, which always helps. With the industry in constant flux, it's especially nice to have a tool as dependable and good as ITN." — Miranda Levingston, Brooklyn Editor at Patch

“Inside the Newsroom made my already stressful job-hunting process much easier. As I had been considering relocating for a new job, it was so fantastic to have a job board that showed me opportunities where I'm based, remote jobs, and jobs in other cities all in one place. My six dollar a month subscription was the best (continuous) six dollars I've ever spent!” — Tricia Crimmins, Tech Reporter at Morning Brew

“I wound up at the Wall Street Journal after I found probably every gig I got during college on Inside the Newsroom. I've always recommended it to other college kids looking for jobs and will continue to do so. Thanks for all your hard work on it.” — Owen Tucker-Smith, Reporter at The Wall Street Journal

“Inside the Newsroom was a phenomenal resource throughout my job search. As a recent college graduate, I didn't really know where to start looking for entry-level journalism jobs. Daniel's wide-ranging database helped open my eyes to the possibilities of where I could start my career. Looking through the new postings was a highlight of my Monday morning routine. Thanks so much for all of your help!” — Max Krupnick, Staff Writer at Harvard Magazine

“Without Inside the Newsroom, I wouldn’t have found the great job that I'm in now. In fact, I might still be spending all day just looking for open roles on LinkedIn or Indeed! I can't say how much Inside the Newsroom has helped me over the years in finding journalism work and in feeling supported while I do it. Applying for jobs is often a lonely process, and it means so much to know there's someone who wants you to succeed, Daniel, and many other people in the same situation as me.” — Bayliss Wagner, Politifact Data and Disinformation Reporter at The Austin-American Statesman

“As a graduate student, I struggled to find a reliable job board that consolidated information for the job hunt onto one single page. LinkedIn can feel daunting and hopeless, so Inside the Newsroom provided me with a coherent and cohesive list of all sorts of jobs available across the U.S. I really appreciated that it was updated every week and that so much care was given to outlining the location, the role, and the pay, and the fact that it also showed me what was available in the EU! I made it to the final stage of several interviews for jobs I wouldn't have known existed without Inside the Newsroom. I highly recommend subscribing to this no matter where you are in your journalism career; it's truly one of the most rewarding Substacks.” — Tracy J. Jawad

“Inside The Newsroom is a great tool for any journalist, and excellent value for money. The job board is one of the most comprehensive you'll find in the industry, and useful even if you're not looking for a new role. It's reassuring to know that someone else is scouring job boards for you, and not having to do that yourself is a massive time saver.” — Samuel Horti, Lead Global Health Reporter, at The Bureau of Investigative Journalism

“In February, I’ll begin a new journey at the Associated Press as a video journalist covering Ohio. Although I’m quite nervous, I’m really excited to begin this chapter in a new city with a job that will present its own challenges and opportunities for growth. I felt under-appreciated and overlooked in my previous job, but receiving the updated newsletters and job board posts from Inside the Newsroom gave me hope that a better opportunity was out there and that I was not alone in navigating this world of news. I look forward to reading many more from y’all. Cheers!” — Patrick Orsagos, Video Journalist at the Associated Press

While I found my current job through alumni connections from my university, I did actually get another offer from a job I applied for through Inside The Newsroom’s job board as well. That one was the LexisNexis MLex reporter position, but I ended up turning it down for WUSA. As a recent graduate, ITN’s board was super helpful for my job search. Thank you again! — Sophie Rosenthal, Digital Editor at WUSA9

Inside The Newsroom is an excellent Substack, and saved me hours of time each month. Thank you Daniel! — Hannah Lucinda Smith, freelance journalist

“After months of job searches, applications, recruiter calls and interviews, I finally found the next step in my career as a business reporter at the Canadian Press. Inside The Newsroom's job board helped me sort through the noise of postings and deadlines — much more helpful and comprehensive than my Indeed alerts for journalism jobs, which normally consisted of very few actual journalism jobs. Inside the Newsroom made me more hopeful about my next job, and also more discerning, as I found out there were far more opportunities out there than I'd expected. I was able to take my time and make the decision that was best for me. Thank you!” — Rosa Saba, Business Reporter at the Canadian Press

“It was a long search and Inside the Newsroom was a staple of helping me find the latest openings. Thanks for all you do with it and I’ll be sure to mention it to other journalism friends who look to change jobs.” — Patrick Engel, Associate Editor at the American Institute of Steel Construction

“ITN has helped me save so much time by providing all the available jobs in a single place. You can be sure that you will not miss new postings if you use it. It’s a truly fantastic service!” — Silvia Martelli, Reporter at Il Sole 24 Ore

“Great resource and service. Thank you Inside The Newsroom for helping me land a job with G/O media as a Staff Writer with Lifehacker!” — Daniel Oropeza, Staff Writer and G/O Media/Lifehacker

“I checked Inside The Newsroom’s job board every single day, multiple times a day. Eventually, I landed a job at The Arizona Republic as a sports reporter and couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much!” — Logan Stanley, Sports Reporter at The Arizona Republic

“I'm happy to say I have nothing but praise for Inside The Newsroom. It has been a fantastic tool in applying for jobs and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting to get a new job in the media, there really is nowhere better to search for opportunities.” — Joe Harker, Journalist at LADBible

“Daniel’s expansive and curated job listings were extremely helpful when I decided to reenter the job market. LinkedIn and Indeed were flush with openings, but Inside the Newsroom has an industry perspective that the algorithms couldn’t recreate. These were jobs that I actually wanted to apply for, plus professional insights. I’m thrilled to have landed a new job editing emerging news, but I’m sure I’ll still jump on the newsletter every Monday.” — Kendyl Kearly, Emerging News Editor at The Baltimore Sun

“Inside The Newsroom’s job board and newsletter was extremely helpful for a recent j-school graduate entering the workforce. The job board has a plethora of roles that I would have never been able to find otherwise, and is thoroughly organized — distinguishing the role, city, and most importantly, the date the job listing was posted. Thank you Inside The Newsroom for allowing me to stay on track during what can be a very tedious job search!” — Ruth Etiesit Samuel, Culture Reporter at HuffPost

“Before I was actively looking for a new role, I subscribed to Inside The Newsroom so I could see what was available without having to traipse all over the internet to stay abreast of who was hiring. The ability to CTRL+F your way through the listings looking for keywords or locations made the task quick and easy instead of cumbersome and draining. I'd recommend it to anyone who's actively searching for a new opportunity and also to people who aren't entirely sure what they want their next role to be, and want to review job descriptions and open roles for research purposes.” — Lisa Rowan, Cardinal News

“Inside the Newsroom is truly a great resource for those looking for work in journalism.  The job board is the most comprehensive one I’ve seen; it showed me so many postings I never would have known about otherwise.  And behind it all is a real person who will respond to your emails.  I would definitely recommend Inside the Newsroom if you are applying to journalism jobs.” — Kevin Chang Barnum, Producer at WNPR

“Inside The Newsroom has been such a huge help to me as a new grad trying to land my first gig. I remember feeling so much anxiety about trying to find opportunities I could apply to, and Inside The Newsroom eased those immensely! Knowing that there was someone behind it all that truly cared about their subscribers has been even more comforting and helpful.” — Jorgelina Manna, Producer at WAMU

“I came across Inside the Newsroom’s job board this fall while looking for a new opportunity. Scouring the internet for a new gig is a full-time job in itself, so I saw the job board as an invaluable tool to save me time. When I came across listings that I'd already found elsewhere, it gave me peace of mind that I was getting a pretty full picture of what was out there, and when I came across postings I hadn't seen or companies I hadn't thought to check out, I knew I was getting serious value.” — Teresa Ristow, Audience Strategist at BlueLena

“Inside The Newsroom has an incredibly detailed and frequently updated listing of journalism jobs throughout the world. You will not run out of potential jobs to apply to. This is much-needed service in a very competitive industry!” — Anthony Ciardelli, Freelance Journalist

“I signed up for the paid version to help my daughter (a 2020 college graduate) with her search for journalism jobs. It was a wonderful find, especially for a college senior whose last quarter was cut short by the pandemic. She applied for internships as well as entry level jobs, and eventually found a job in UI/UX Design. I’ve forwarded the newsletter to other graduates who are looking for careers in the field. It’s a great service compiling relevant postings, connecting to others who are supporting young journalists looking to enter the field, and I wish you continued success.” — Joanne Hartmann, Freelance Writer

“When I began searching for entry-level print and audio jobs, I was overwhelmed by the listings and underwhelmed by the offerings. Handshake and LinkedIn fed me mostly unpaid internships or volunteer positions — impossible to take if you're not independently wealthy — and I struggled to find roles that matched my interests and experience. Making a small investment in Inside the Newsroom's carefully curated job board was the best thing I did to help my first full-time job search, saving me tons of time scrolling through generic job websites and providing a comprehensive trove of enticing opportunities. The extensive list also restored my faith that a journalism/media career is still possible, especially if one knows the right spreadsheets to consult.” — Sara McCrea, Podcast Development at APM Studios

“To be honest, I wasn’t sure about taking up an Inside The Newsroom subscription, but Daniel was quick to answer my questions and this was the main reason I decided to subscribe. Visiting numerous websites looking for a full-time role was painful and time consuming, but ITN’s list made the search for my ideal roles easy. I wouldn’t have found my job without the list, so I’ll always be grateful for that.” — John Guinn, Local Democracy Reporter at JPI Media

“The newsletter and jobs board were super helpful during my job search — any time I felt I was losing steam, there was always an abundance of really exciting opportunities that motivated me to keep looking. I also really appreciated the wide variety of roles included. As someone early in their career, I loved knowing that there were plenty of paths I could take to build a career in journalism.” — Ann Gehan, Finance Reporting Fellow at Business Insider

“The only thing worse than apartment hunting is job hunting. I spend hours jumping from one careers page to another just to apply to a position that's probably already filled. And there's always that lingering feeling that I'm missing out on opportunities because I just haven't searched hard enough. Yet Inside the Newsroom, with its comprehensive and up-to-date database, largely quenched that fear. Plus, it's where I found my latest gig." — Sachi McClendon, Editorial Fellow at The Intercept

“Great newsletter! The job list is incredibly helpful. There are so many jobs I never would have found and applied to otherwise! It even helped me find a fellowship after months of not being able to get a journalism job. I highly recommend subscribing.” — Lora Korpar, Digital Reporting Fellow at Newsweek

“I loved this subscription and was genuinely so helpful in my job search. In May 2021 I found a part-time role using the job board, and in November 2021 I received an offer for a full-time role! The spreadsheet was extremely organized and provided a great variety of media roles, which I appreciated as someone pivoting from reporting to broader communications.” — Karen Jenkins, Social Media at Backstage

“Inside The Newsroom’s job board is the most comprehensive I've seen by far, and received two internship offers because of the board! I anticipate resubscribing after my internship ends and I start the post-graduation job hunt.” — Skye Witley, Intern at NBC Washington

“I've really enjoyed following the newsletter, and the job board has been incredibly helpful for me in my job search. Once I read your letter about leaving the WSJ, I wanted to see what ways we as subscribers would be able to help and grow Inside The Newsroom. I think what you and your team have put together is awesome, so I'd like to help in any way I can.” — Chris Butler, Journalism Student at Northeastern University

“I did want to mention that I have really enjoyed your newsletter over the last few months - you do an excellent job of not just curating jobs and internships, but also putting together the global news roundups each week. I've found them really great for staying informed on what's going on around the world, including in countries I don't typically keep an eye on.” — Christie Moffat, Real Estate Reporter at S&P Global

“I was unemployed and looking for journalism jobs for eight months, and was spending literal hours every week combing through Twitter posts, job boards, and career pages — just to find listings that were weeks or months old, or to realize I had missed a job I would have liked to apply for because I forgot to check a certain website. Subscribing to Inside the Newsroom gave me back those hours of frustration and fruitless searching and I ended up landing several interviews after I applied to jobs I found on the board. Plus, Daniel puts his money where his mouth is in trying to keep unpaid internships off the board and responding to emails when you have a question or suggestion! Totally worth the money for journalism job-searchers.” — Kirstyn Brendlen, Reporter at Brooklyn Paper

“After graduating from journalism school, my friends and I were all on the job hunt. One of the biggest stresses was simply finding jobs to apply to. Inside The Newsroom newsletter eliminated that stress for us. Checking in every week to see new jobs helped us see the possibilities in the industry and kept me motivated in my job hunt. A subscription is worth every penny!” — Catie Cheshire, Reporting Fellow at Denver Westword

“Just a few weeks after subscribing to the job board, I was offered my dream job writing about reality TV. You might not think it at the time, but joining this newsletter could change your life. Thank you so much, Daniel.” — Celine Byford, Chief Staff Writer at Reality Tidbit

“Inside the Newsroom has impacted me massively over the past year. I just landed a full-time role I found on the job board, right out of college. This is a listing I certainly would have missed through more traditional job search means, but it wound up being a perfect fit. I didn't go to a big journalism school and started with no connections, so I've found the industry as a whole incredibly difficult to navigate. Job hunting aside, your thoughtful note on why you had to leave the Wall Street Journal shed light on issues I've noticed are incredibly common across publications.” — Camilla Forte, Web and Photo Producer at The Hechinger Report

“After reading your post about leaving WSJ, I had to subscribe. Thanks for all you do, it’s so critical to our field!” — Eric Falquero, Editor at Street Sense Media

“I just read this newsletter and wanted to send you my support! The job board you manage is incredible and I cannot think of a better place to look for work!” — Caterina Bernardi, Freelance Photographer

“Whether I was scouting for a new job, assignment, or just keeping my finger on the pulse of happenings in the media industry, Inside the Newsroom was an excellent and reliable resource.” — Bekah Wright, Freelance Journalist

“Inside the Newsroom’s job board makes the job hunt during these strange times, dare I say, more enjoyable? Instead of wasting time visiting the career pages for individual publications, you can find a list of current openings, along with links to the place to apply and when the job was posted. It's a welcomed reprieve in what's been a difficult time for many people in our industry. Thank you, Daniel!” — Anna (last name anonymous as she’s still on the job hunt)

“After resubscribing to your service I found a good tip that led to a promising job interview. I’m grateful Inside The Newsroom exists and will be recommending it to friends and colleagues who are also looking to make a change.” — Chris (last name anonymous as he’s in the process of changing jobs)

“For many journalists and everyone in new media seeking work in a newsroom, it’s a great resource for a great price.” — Bill Ramsey, Independent Graphic Designer

“As an independent journalist, I find Inside the Newsroom extremely valuable in that postings are easily accessible and detailed. Daniel’s dedication to readers is evident through his meticulous planning and via the newsletter’s straightforward, no-nonsense design.” — Amanda Florian, Independent Journalist

“I work in local news, whose newsrooms don't put many resources into promoting their positions. ITN became my one-stop job search. I saw a posting for a little-known news startup near me in San Francisco called Here/Say Media and, entirely to it being included on ITN, I was among the first applicants. I’m so excited to start my new position and extremely grateful to Daniel and for jumpstarting my next opportunity.” — Sarah Wright

“Inside the Newsroom's job board was instrumental in helping me find a full-time role in media (which is notoriously difficult to do)! I can't thank Dan enough for creating this valuable resource and educating me about current events around the world while I job hunted. I highly recommend job seekers and news junkies alike subscribe.” — Rebecca Long, freelance writer and editor

“Inside the Newsroom has been my go to place for unfiltered, unbiased weekly news roundups, and has been essential for me as a emerging visual journalist based between Canada and the UK, to keep my finger on the pulse of what opportunities are coming up where. In creating this community, Daniel recognizes that the next generation of journalists need a base from which they can navigate this ever-changing industry. Inside the Newsroom is that base.” — Amy Romer, Visual Journalist

“Visiting Daniel’s job board every Monday gives me the same satisfaction as opening the fridge door after a big shop. And you can use it knowing he remembered everything on the list… even the sneaky ones other job boards miss out.” — Charlie Metcalfe, Freelance Writer

“Life as a freelancer often feels isolated and it's easy to feel out of the loop. That’s why I'm so thankful for a resource like Inside The Newsroom that gives me a sense of connectivity with incredible data and inspiring peer interviews. Plus, for me, the job board is a game-changer, and is my go-to when I start scouting the on-staff world!” — Raven Briana McMillan, Freelance Writer
