Digital Journalism Panel L-R: Lorraine Ballard Morril (Clear Channel) Amanda Miller Littlejohn (Mopwater) Norm Bond (NAMD), Darisha K. Miller (Ross Assoc), Crystal Cranmore (CBS3), Sarah J. Glover (Philadelphia Daily News), Karen Araiza (NBC Philadelphia)

Happy Monday. On Saturday, I went to Philadelphia to talk to community non-profits and small business leaders about media access. This amazing event was hosted by the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists (PABJ) and the Philadelphia Black Public Relations Society (PBPRS). It was a great event, and I’ll post more about what the amazing panelists shared later.

After my panel, a young man just starting his career approached me wanting to know how he could get a social media job at an exclusive tech start-up. I advised him to try an agency first, since those jobs are more plentiful. And look for names like social media strategist or comb through listings for account executives and associates and look for keywords: social networking, social media, Facebook, Twitter.

Talking to this recent graduate inspired me to bring back this dormant feature and to try to help some of you who are searching for jobs. I hope the jobs listed help you on your way in your media career, and the advice on this site can help you fine tune your understanding of where you want to be. Because trust me, as a media person it will change and evolve, just as the industry changes and evolves.
