WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - Jun 4, 2012) - The Online News Association, the world's largest membership organization of digital journalists, announces that registration is now open for recruiters looking for the journalists of the future at the Online News Association Career Summit & Job Fair in San Francisco, the event that kicks off ONA's annual conference.
Hosted by the fastest-growing membership organization of digital media, the Job Fair will be the place to find journalists with cutting-edge media and technology skills for the jobs media companies need to fill today and tomorrow. Last year's Job Fair saw more than 100 highly qualified job-seekers visiting 35 select recruiters representing major corporate, public and broadcast media, as well as tech companies, publishing platforms, portals and top colleges.
Recruiters will meet one-on-one with experienced reporters, writers, producers, technologists, designers and editors from every platform, from pure-play digital sites to broadcast and print publications, as well as technologists schooled in the latest in programming, web design and content management. Attending will be undergraduates and new graduates from dozens of universities training today's journalists in multimedia storytelling skills, including social media networking, video shooting/editing, interactive graphics and podcasting.
The Job Fair will be held Thursday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., partnered with the Career Summit from 9 a.m.-noon, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. Fees are $250 per company/organization for one table with two recruiters. Each recruiter gets a $49 discount on the general conference registration.
