Community Newspapers - Hear Them Roar

Careers

If you are seeking a newspaper position, or have an opening or internship you’d like to post leave a comment or send me an email at communitynewspapers@gmail.com and I’d be glad to post that.  I’d also like to hear recommendations of sites, publications or organizations that can help newspapers recruit or help journalism, advertising or IT students find work with community newspapers.

For those of you who need to advertise openings or seek jobs in the newspaper industry, here are some  job sites, primarily niche-specific:

One very valuable resource, on Freep.com, the beta site of the Detroit Free Press, is called Jobs Page - Your Link to Journalism Careers. And does it have everything! There are jobs and job boards, job hunt tips, and a 181 page book on making the most of an internship that is downloadable for only $4.95. There’s even journalism training, jargon and a page about newspaper movies.

Here are jobs I know about:
