CubReporters.org is an online career guide aimed at young, college and early career journalists. But even veteran journalists may find some of its features, such as the jobs page, useful.
Launched in April 2007, the website gets more than 10,000 page views per week. CubReporters.org has been mentioned in The Communicator, Online Journalism Review, Quill and other publications. The Society for News Design ranked it as the #1 job resource for soon-to-be graduates.
Unless you go to a journalism school like Columbia, Medill or Newhouse, your university may offer little assistance or know-how on journalism career development and job placement. I found myself in this position ten years ago, when I was in college and wanted to become a newspaper reporter. Having been through the process, I developed this site to help other young journalists get their first byline, internship or job.
What separates CubReporters.org from other journalism websites is that it offers original content for young journalists that can't be found anywhere else. For example, this site features a lengthy list of major newspapers and magazines that routinely hire entry-level reporters and it has a section that lists fellowships specifically geared towards young journalists.
