How to advertise in America?

Where to advertise a media job in North America and Aus/NZ?

  • I've recently been appointed editor of a UK-based computer/tech magazine and website, and need to hire someone to bring the team up to full strength. In the UK, the majority of media jobs are advertised in the Guardian's Media section on Mondays, and on its companion website. However, I'd like to advertise in in other English-speaking countries but don't know where to place the ad. If anyone could tell me the US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand equivalents of the Monday Media Guardian - i.e. the places anyone seriously looking for media work is looking - that would be much appreciated. Online sites would be great, too. My company has sponsored work visas before, and it's a relatively high level appointment so if the right person came along I think we could survive the work visa process. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    I'd suggest http://www.mediabistro.com, http://www.publishersweekly.com, and http://www.editorandpublisher.com as some equivalents here.

For Australian candidates, you could place an ad in the Age's http://www.theage.com.au/technology/section.

There's no exact equivalent to the Guardian's media jobs section that I know of in Australia. But http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/ does publish a weekly http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/index/0,,7582,00.html each Thursday and there are print/broadcasting jobs advertised in that. Section profile http://newsmedianet.com.au/home/titles/title/SectionProfile.jsp?titleid=5&storyid=4341957 and advertising contacts http://newsmedianet.com.au/home/titles/title/ContactUs.jsp?titleid=5. You might also try internet sites like http://www.careerone.com.au/ (affiliated with News Limited) or http://mycareer.com.au/ (the Fairfax version).

The evolt.org mailing list (free) and GigaOm's jobs sidebar (via http://gigaomjobs.com, $200) would get heavy traffic from the niche crowd you want and would be excellent time/money spends. Don't forget Ireland! We have a very, very active tech and web 2.0 industry here and it would be an easy recruit.
