West Coast Media Jobs - 5/13/20

With open roles at the San Diego Business Journal, CalMatters, SF Weekly & more!

Hey everyone, and welcome to those joining us from Ann Friedman’s newsletter! Glad to have you here.

A little housekeeping reminder: Due to the lack of journalism jobs out there, I’ve been included some copywriting, social media marketing, and internal comms jobs that are closely related to journalism to give you the best chance at landing a role out there.

So, let’s get to it.

• From Poynter: How do you launch a journalism career in the middle of a pandemic?

• From The Atlantic: Dave Grohl’s touching ode to live music and concerts

• Sonia Weiser of the Opportunities of the Week newsletter for freelancer writers started the "Journalists/Communications Professionals Doing Pro Bono Work" spreadsheet. You might notice I’ve added myself to it as well — I’m willing to help with any early career challenges or regarding any of the other topics I listed!

• From Vulture: The definitive oral history of one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies from my teens, Center Stage

• Free classes:

  • 115 Coursera Certificates You Can Earn for Free During the Coronavirus Pandemic

  • Nikon School Online is extending its free courses through May and expanding its Creator’s Hour online events

  • The Gemological Institute of America is doing free webinars

  • GetYourGuide has free virtual tours and experiences through their World at Home program

  • Moz Academy, using the code wegotthis (until 5/31)

  • CreativeLive’s free health and wellness streaming classes

• Grants to aid freelancers during COVID-19: ICYMI, I’ve got a Twitter thread compiling them — I’m adding to the thread as I find more!
