Resources and Services for Students:

The Journalism Career Center (JCC) offers career guidance and counseling for J-School students. The JCC can help you at any stage in your college career, whether you are ready to enter the job market or just beginning to explore the possibilities of journalism. Our services will help you: compile a dynamic resume; find a fabulous internship (read the J-School Internship Policy); interview with confidence and comfort; arrange interviews with on-campus recruiters; network, network, network; and secure a job that's well suited to you!

Following are two excellent resources for internship and job listings:

  1. J-School's Online Listing Service: Students can view Strategic Communication and News and Information internships and jobs on our JCC listing service.
  2. KU CareerConnections: Students should also check out CareerConnections, another helpful University job and internship listing site.

Services for Alumni:

The JCC provides information about journalism jobs that require at least two years of experience. This job listing service is for jobs that require two-four, three-five, five-seven and 10 or more years of experience. We hear about such positions on a regular basis and post the listings to our Journalism Jobs page.

Services for Employers:

Employers can list internship and job openings free of charge to the J-School's Online Listing Service. To assist our alumni, we also post jobs that require experience to our Journalism Jobs page. Please send a brief job description, including a contact person's name, to the JCC at pnoland@ku.edu. Employers may also fax the information to (785) 864-5318.

Journalism Career Fair:

You contribute to your organization's success by handling numerous projects, managing multiple tasks and staying up on industry trends. You have talents that you can share with someone who is eager to learn. That "someone" is one of our excellent journalism students from the KU School of Journalism.
