Bottom line
JournalismJobs.com fits newsrooms, broadcasters, magazines, PR teams and journalism schools hiring reporters, editors, producers and media staff. A single ad costs $100 and runs five weeks, with resume database access included at no extra cost. Bulk packs bring the price down to about $73 an ad at 55 ads for $4,000, and credits never expire. It is a cheap, focused option for media roles, not a general board.
Stands out for: Resume search comes with every $100 ad instead of being sold as a separate subscription. The board has run since 1999 and lists past users including the Washington Post, NPR, Reuters, CNN and the Associated Press.
Watch out for: There are no featured or premium upgrades listed, so every ad gets the same placement. The audience is media and communications professionals, so roles outside that field will see little response.
Overview
JournalismJobs.com is a job board for journalism and media careers, launched in April 1999 by Dan Rohn, a former copy editor and business writer at The Washington Post. It is a subsidiary of NewRoadsMedia.com LLC.
Jobs are grouped by newspapers and wire services, digital media and startups, TV and radio, magazines and publishing, trade publications, PR and communications, nonprofit, academia and government, finance and technology, and diversity roles.
Employers pay $100 for a five-week job ad, or buy packs of 5 to 55 ads with free credits added. Every ad includes resume database access and social media promotion, and credits never expire.
Alongside jobs, the site lists fellowships, awards and contests, journalism schools, salary data and career advice, and sells banner ads to graduate programs and training providers.
