Broadcast journalism career links

CubReporters.org now features a section on broadcast journalism. It includes internships, scholarships and fellowships, entry-level jobs and other career links.

As you know, the site has traditionally focused on print journalism, but, in this age of convergence, it's necessary to expand the website's focus and mission. The main parts of the website -- journalism jobs, journalism internships and journalism fellowships -- will also include more multimedia opportunities.

The broadcast journalism page is a work in progress; feel free to suggest any interesting links or good opportunities.

More praise for CubReporters.org

Ken Jost, Supreme Court Editor of CQ Press, e-mails us: "Perhaps if I'd read this [Web site] 30 years ago, I might be editor of the New York Times by now."

"Too often, young journalists don't have a road map with which to navigate the industry -- instead, they're given gloomy assessments about the job market and then shoved out into it," says J.T. Rushing, state capital bureau chief for the Florida-Times Union. "What Mark has created is a terrific, must-read resource for reporters in that category which we were all in at one point. His site is unique, it's invaluable, it's comprehensive and it is most certainly recommended.

Says the Aggie Journalists blog: "CubReporters.org has a whole raft of solid links to national internship listings — more than a dozen, including ASNE's bank and chains/organizations such as the AP and Freedom Communications, which owns five Texas papers."

"Looks great," e-mails Chandra Turner, founder and president of Ed2010.com , a networking and mentoring organization committed to helping aspiring and junior-level editors reach their dream magazine jobs.

Thanks, everyone!

Jersey or bust!

This fall, I'll be teaching journalism and various communication courses at Monmouth University.

The New Jersey school is located an hour from Philadelphia and New York and is listed by The Princeton Review as one of the nation’s "Best 366 Colleges."

I have lots of journalism-related events planned for 2007-08, many of which will be open to the public. Check back for updates.

Over 10,000 page views last week!

And nearly 3,000 visitors. That means the site is averaging about 400 visitors and 1,500 page views per day. Nowhere near what uber popular journalism sites such as JournalismJobs.com get, but, still, impressive. Thanks for checking us out.

We're #1!

The Society for News Design recently ranked it as the #1 job resource for soon-to-be journalism graduates.

In second place was the long-venerated JournalismJobs.com.

Sweet.

Web site re-launch

CubReporters.org is back and better than ever before!

The website, aimed at helping young, college and early-career journalists, was launched in October 1999. Over the years, however, it languished as I became busy working as a reporter and later attending law school.

Recently, I recommitted myself to maintaining the website. Broken links have been fixed, new links and features (such as this blog) have been added. The site has also received a facelift to make it more aesthetically appealing and easier to navigate.

Please let me know if I can assist you in anyway. Feedback on the website is welcome, as well. Email me at Mark@CubReporters.org.
