Young Journos in Scotland Newsletter is back!
Job Opportunities for the New year and Introduction
Hello! I hope you’re having a good new year, My name is Bethany and I’m taking over this newsletter for Iris.
I am a Journalism student based in Glasgow who spends far too much time job hunting! I’ve been saying I want to do more in the industry and this year I’m forcing myself too - starting here! You can find me on Instagram and Twitter 🐝if you have any questions, are looking to befriend a struggling journalist or if you just feel like being nosy.
This is the Young Journos in Scotland Newsletter, a weekly rundown of the best journalist and writing opportunities in Scotland. Below you’ll find the most recent job opportunities in the Scottish media industry.
Enjoy and good luck with your job hunting! If you’re finding the newsletter useful and want help support it (and me!) you can buy me a coffee and help fuel my searching ☕
