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 <[log in to unmask]. Thanks for your help, Best, Eric Wee <[log in to unmask] <www.journalismnext.com 703 739-0408 P.S. There is more information about me under "About Us" on <www.journalismnext.com.
