Jobs - Post vacancies here

I didn't know the graphic design world operated on a Guild basis. I've learned something. Indeed, my trade - journalism - could do with that approach, as basically any 'nice' journalism job is now unpaid.

The backbone of most national newspapers (ahem The Independent, The Guardian) is now unpaid interns and low-paid workers on short contracts.

In the mainstream journalism business, the day-rate for a complete beginner is NEGATIVE. (Which is why only people with money go into sought-after journalism jobs nowadays. Which - abittapolitiks - helps explain why national newspapers are so sh*t)

Their is no guild. And there is a lot of touchiness about rates as times are quite hard.

Money is only a minor factor in motivating designers. I imagine it to be similar for good journalists too? But it's really sad when trained talent cannot earn a living doing what they're good at, whichever profession.
