“I tell all the journalism students I meet this: blogs are the minimum. There’s no excuse for a student journalist who wants to work online not to have one. The only exception (and even then…) might be if they were heavily involved in student media, or were working for a publication part-time, or were doing some kind of other digital work which trumped having a mere blog. And no, MySpace/Bebo/Facebook pages don’t count. Moreover, the quality of the blog really matters, because it lets me see how good someone is unedited and entirely self-motivated. If I were to see a decent pitch with a blog address on it, I’d look, and the quality and frequency could count heavily in the author’s favour. And if a brilliant graduate didn’t have a blog, but still made interview, I’d be asking, politely, why not…”

Macintosh blogs at the very useful Completetosh. His comment was part of an exchange on Paul Bradshaw’s must-read Online Journalism Blog.

She says: ” I am looking for someone to help out who would like a little regular work probably a day a week, hours are flexible. They must of course have some skills in web media, e-commerce and use of web-based software .

Remember, If you are interested in this or any other work opportunity, do have a word with a tutor first. We should be able to give you advice on what you can expect from an employer – and certainly on what they can expect from you!
