ASNE on the move
ASNE has set its schedule of job fairs for 1999-2000. Job fairs offer
editors and recruiters a practical way to interview dozens of journalists
of color at convenient regional sites.
This fall and winter, ASNE will sponsor nine regional fairs across the
country. Except for Nashville and Washington, they are co-sponsored with
the Newspaper Association of America and will be open to candidates and
interviewers for all newspaper departments.
Another job fair is being negotiated in the West.
Most of the candidates will be minority college juniors and seniors
seeking entry-level jobs and internships, though some young journalists
with jobs also attend. There is a registration fee for each participating
newspaper. Recruiters pay their own transportation and hotel costs.
