If you’re anything like myself, you love coming across great websites! In our industry, the best websites to come across are those to keep in your resource folder! Do not allow your resource folder to sit idly by while you attempt to move forward in your career.
If you’re just starting out, start with Digital Media Wire. One of my favorite parts about this informational website is the job postings. Being nearly done with grad school, this is how I spend all my free time online—drifting through job postings. With one click, I had over a thousand postings to look that that range from Intern to Senior Director. This free website will become invaluable to you if you take advantage of just this one part of the site.
Digital Media Wire describes themselves as:
“Digital Media Wire, Inc. launched in early 2000 with a simple yet compelling proposition to provide busy executives with a daily briefing of the most important news stories about the business of digital media. On July 20, 2000, we published the first issue of Digital Media Wire Daily — our daily email newsletter dedicated to objective coverage of news stories about the convergence of media, entertainment and technology. Today, we are a full scale media company that owns and produces 8 major conferences, publishes daily newsletters and directories, and operates the popular www.dmwmedia.com news and community portal.” (2011).
The amount of articles posted on here is astounding. It will keep you updated on all things media related. If you are interested in what’s going on in Media Law, check out the Law section. Or look into things that are social related, like Twitter or Linked In. This website goes beyond being informational on current topics, to keeping you on your game for future job opportunities.
If you’re in New York on November 17th and 18th of 2011, please check out the Future of Television conference. The list of speakers is reason enough to check it out. This is an opportunity to network! Keep yourself updated and ahead of the game. Never underestimate the power of a great resource!
