Literally Just A List Of All The Job Sites For Journalism Jobs And Internships

Finding journalism and media jobs is the first stumbling block for so many of us. Where do you find them? How do you make sure you find them first? What if you don’t want to work in London?

There are still more journalism job sites than you might think, so here’s our massive (and regularly updated) list of where to scour for jobs. These are all the sites we use when putting together our free weekly newsletter — but follow them yourself and you’ll give yourself a free heads up.

• Journo Resources: Hey, we had to put ourselves first, no? We’re the only journalism jobs board that refuses listing without a salary range, so you know what you’re applying for and if it’s worth your time. And, of course, all jobs are paid. We also make it easy to filter for jobs outside of London, those with remote working, and much more. If you’re an advertiser, you can advertise a role for just £65.

• Journalism.co.uk: It’s all in the name, really. This is a really good one, with new listings going up almost every day. The list is extensive and ordered by ‘most recent’. In true good egg style, they also encourage as many employers as possible to list salaries publicly. They also have an excellent news team that posts updates on the industry more widely.

• HoldTheFrontPage: This indie site has a particular specialism for regional, local, and business-to-business publications, as well as news agencies. A decent chunk of the job adverts list salaries and new stuff goes up every week.

• Creative Access: Covering the creative sector more broadly, but with specific sections for journalism and broadcast, Creative Access is a particularly good spot for entry-level jobs. They specialise in reaching people from underrepresented backgrounds, and some opportunities are specifically for people from ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

• Creative Lives In Progress (CLIP): We are big fan girls for CLIP; this board is a mix of entry-level creative jobs, internships, and other opportunities like grants and mentoring. We find something useful every time we check it, and they also have tonnes of online resources.

• RadioTodayJobs: As the title suggests, this site is dedicated to radio jobs in the UK, Europe, and beyond. You can filter by location, and they make sure to clearly differentiate from volunteer and paid opportunities.

• NCTJ Jobs Board: The National Council for the Training of Journalists is a journalism institution — and now runs its own jobs board. You can expect to find opportunities for all the big brands like Reach, News UK, Newsquest, and the BBC, and you can filter by region and role type.

• Arts Council Jobs: It’s a bit hidden on their website, but as well as advertising internal vacancies, the Arts Council also lists vacancies from across the sector. We tend to use the keyphrase search for stuff like “editorial” or “social media” and it always throws up something interesting.

• If You Could Jobs: The sister site of Creative Lives In Progress, this board is a bit more on the media agency side of things but often yields total gems in the fields of social media or content writing. Plus it’s a joy to look at and the monthly email is a wonderful read about how to apply for stuff.

• FashionWorkie: Ok, the specialism here is very much in the name. There’s a whole section dedicated to journalism roles with fashion brands and companies, including freelance gigs and internships. Salary details are a little scant, though.

• Guardian Media Jobs: We’d advise keeping the sector search on this one slightly more broad to ‘media’ rather than ‘journalism’ so you see the best stuff. This isn’t just jobs from The Guardian, it’s from across the whole industry, so is worth checking from time to time.

• The Dots: This is another good one for creative types, and has a decent selection of journalism jobs in the mix. You will have to create an account to see the full listings, but that’s free and also includes portfolio and networking opportunities.

• Total Jobs: We use this one quite a lot when we’re searching for our newsletter and it tends to have several hundred jobs live at any one time. They’re also pretty good at widening your search results to relevant stuff, so make sure to comb through the whole list. You can also search by location and commute.

• Indeed: As above, we use Indeed a fair bit and always come away with some decent finds. You can narrow your search specifically to journalism jobs, and if you create a free account and visit the site a couple of times, you’ll start to get a curated list of suggestions.

• CV Library: This is another one of our go-tos. Although it’s not specifically tied to journalism, it often yields good results for the sector, and you can filter quite extensively, whether that’s by location, salary, or remote working.

• Employers’ Websites: Pretty much all the big employers have their own websites, so you know, check those too. Several of them won’t list anywhere else, so if you’ve got a dream place to work, it’s worth keeping tabs. Try:

• BBC Careers
• ITV Jobs
• Telegraph Talent
• Channel 4 Jobs
• Thompson Reuters Jobs
• DC Thomson Vacancies
• Incisive Media Jobs
• Future Careers
• Work For Sky
• The Guardian Work For Us
• News UK Careers (The Sun, The Times, TalkSport etc)
• Newsquest Media Group
• Reach Jobs (The Mirror, Daily Record etc)
• Condé Nast Britain Jobs
• Hearst UK Jobs
• FT Careers
• Global (Heart, Capital, etc)
• New Statesman (Progressive Media Group)
• DMGT Careers (The Daily Mail, Metro.co.uk, the i Paper)
• Hachette (Hodder & Stoughton, Octopus, Orion etx)

• IJNnet: The International Journalists’ Network is a hub of all things opportunities, with a few jobs sprinkled into the mix. There are also tonnes of other useful opportunities such as grants, funding, and mentoring opportunities.

• LinkedIn: Sure, this might seem like the obvious one, but don’t forget to check LinkedIn. It’s pretty dire for showing salary ranges, however, you can make the platform work for you — the more you interact with jobs you like, the more it will tailor your feed to you. Plus, you can also signify yourself as open to work on your profile.

• Charity Job: There’s a growing need for journalists in the charity sector, so trust us when we say this really isn’t as left field as you might think. Charity Jobs is one of the biggest sites for jobs with charitable organisations and there are tonnes under their media and digital sections.

• CharityComms: In a similar vein, CharityComms covers jobs in the non-profit sector across digital, media, and brand. Like us, they’re committed to the WeShowTheSalary campaign, which means all roles show a salary.

• Sam’s Social Media Club: Roles in social media and beyond are on offer at Sam’s Social Media Club — another proud member of the WeShowTheSalary campaign, meaning you know what to expect.

• Working for an MP Jobs: Quite specific, but if you’re hoping to work in politics in a media capacity, we sometimes see roles pop up here, so it’s certainly one to add to your list.

• I Like Networking Jobs: More broadly looking across the creative sector, I Like Networking has a small selection of great jobs with great vibes. It’s also well worth following them on Instagram for their weekly round-up of other jobs boards.

• Reed: Much like Total Jobs and Indeed, this is a general-purpose jobs website with a journalism section. If you’re looking at the others, chances are the listings here are duplicates, but for serious job hunters, this is worth keeping an eye on.

• Talent Hub: These pals are a recruitment agency, but don’t let that stop you. They specialise in digital, creative, and marketing stuff, so there’s a good chance you might find something interesting if you’re looking across the media more broadly.

• RunTheCheck: The original Instagram jobs board for creatives, there are always tonnes on this account. While it’s not journalism-specific, opps do crop up and there are often interesting crossover jobs too.

• BRICKS Learner Platform: The Instagram account is a solid place to start for creative gigs. You can also upgrade your experience with a paid subscription; it includes business tips, more jobs, events and and their podcast. There is also a low-income tier available too.
