Jobs & Opps at Muddy Stilettos, Endemol Shine UK, Archant and many, many more.

We'll keep sending the jobs, so you can keep applying 🧼

I write this newsletter to you from my office at home. It’s where I’ve always done the majority of my work on Journo Resources, but I imagine a lot more of you will be receiving at home than normal. It feels like we’re a world away from where we were this time last week, and for a lot of us, the future will feel really uncertain.

There’s no saying what the world will look like when I type this email to you next week, but the one thing I will promise you is that you will get this email next week. I won’t promise you that it’ll be at 5pm, but to be realistic, I’ve never been much good at sticking to the time I’m meant too anyway. Today’s a case in point.

This project has always been about helping people to succeed within the journalism world, and we intend to keep doing that over the coming months, as well as offering as much extra support as we can. In practical terms, we’re currently putting together plans to up access to free CV and pitch reviews, increasing our focus on sharing jobs, funding, and opportunities, and exploring online training and events.

We’re an extremely small team, but we want to make sure we’re supporting you as much as possible through the next few months. If you have any needs, worries, or ideas you think we may be able to help with, please do reply to this message and we’ll do our best. It does actually go straight back to my inbox and I’ll do my best to get back to you.

Equally, if you are lucky enough to be in a financially secure position, please do consider making a small monthly donation. As you’d expect, we’re not doing quite so well on selling sponsorships, job adverts, or events right now, and as an organisation that runs on less than £20,000 a year, it’s a bit touch and go. More importantly though, look after yourself, wash your hands, and keep in touch.
