ArialDear 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
<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
<[log in to unmask].
Thanks for your help,
Best,
Eric Wee
