We might be in our worst recession in modern times but it seems like the worst of the dry journalism jobs situation may be over. In the last week I have seen a flurry of job advertisements, in all mediums, appear on various sites. Journalism.co.uk posted a blog entry today summarising some of the jobs that have popped up in the last week (a few of them it has to be said from Future Publishing):
Web content editor
London, United KingdomPublisher/managing editor
Dubai, DubaiOnline editor
London, EnglandEditor
London, United KingdomResearcher
London, EnglandStaff writer – Edge
Bath, England , EnglandNews correspondents
Leeds, EnglandVideo journalist
London, EnglandPrint executive (maternity leave cover)
London, EnglandStaff Writer – Rhythm
Bath, United KingdomGlobal technical support representative
City of London, United Kingdom
Hold The Front Page is also posting lots more local journalism job advertisements. Obviously, a lot of these jobs are almost unattainable for me at my level but it does give me an encouraging sign that the market is picking up and that by the time I graduate there will be a more forgiving jobs sector.
One has to hope.
