✍️ Journalism Jobs, Freelance Opps, Internships, Fellowships, Events, Awards and Salaries ✍️ — July 23
Hey folks, and welcome back to Inside The Newsroom — journalism’s job board.
I’m sorry that this week’s newsletter is arriving so late — yesterday I had a family emergency and had to drop everything. Fortunately everything is fine now, and I’ve been able to update everything on the job board. I’m still under a little pressure with the situation, so I might be delayed in replying to emails for the rest of the week, but rest assured I will get back to you if you’ve reached out with a query. I’m going to cut this week’s edition short here, but you can find tasters of everything we have to offer below.
Thank you for the understanding, and I’ll speak to you all again next week. 🙏
