>Dear Ms. Bramlett-Solomon,
>
>I’m a former reporter over at the Washington Post and I’m writing to 
>you because we’ve started a new jobs site on the web for journalists 
>of color at <http://www.JournalismNext.com/>www.JournalismNext.com.
>
>I thought I’d get in touch since I thought you might know the best 
>way to get the word out about this resource to minority journalists 
>on your campus.
>
>The site is free to use and currently there are over 250 jobs on it 
>from the over 100 media companies who registered with us and who are 
>particularly looking for journalists of color. The Washington Post, 
>ABC, The Seattle Times, National Public Radio,
>
>Gannett, The Denver Post, The Sacramento Bee, The Philadelphia 
>Inquirer are just a few of the companies using the site.
>
>There are also many listing for internships on the site right now 
>including ones from the Washington Post, Washington 
>Post.com/Newsweek Interactive, C-Span, The Boston Globe, The 
>Oregonian, ABC and special minority based programs from the Seattle 
>Times. Landmark Media has one posting up for a $10,000 scholarship 
>for minority media students. There are also numerous job openings 
>for recent graduates. There are also postings for online media jobs, 
>media graphic artists, photographers and academic media jobs at 
>universities. There are also media related fellowships listed and  a 
>category for public relations/communications related jobs.
>
>Your students can also put up their resumes on the site where 
>recruiters both in broadcast and print around the country are 
>constantly looking for new hires. Once their resume is up, they can 
>also send their resume on-line to a company who has a job opening 
>that appeals to them. They can also set up "agents" that will 
>automatically e-mail them job descriptions that fit what they are 
>looking for.
>
>I’m wondering if you can recommend a way to let minority students on 
>your campus know about this (and alumni)? If you can pass on any of 
>this information, I’d appreciate it greatly. Also please let your 
>students know that if they want us to put their resume up (even 
>though it’s easy for them to do themselves), we can do that for 
>them. Just have them e-mail us their resumes to
