When real listings open, each employer will be asked to show evidence of a publication or production business. This edition has no real employers to check.
Real listings will need a genuine vacancy, an honest pay range and a contact route. Our guide shows how to spot ghost listings elsewhere.
We intend listings to name a real hiring contact rather than a black-hole portal. For now, saved jobs and notes stay in your browser.
Guides on kill fees, rights and rate-setting help independent journalists ask better questions. They are general information, not legal advice.
Set up a profile that lives on your own device, save the sample roles you like, and be first in line when real listings and alerts launch.
