We confirm it’s a genuine journalism / media‑related role, send an invoice, and queue it to go live for 30 days.
Your job appears on this site and, where suitable, is also shared into the private Journalism South Africa Facebook group.
Examples shown here – replace with your live roles as they come in.
Pitch, report and produce digital‑first stories across text, audio and video with a strong public‑interest focus.
Cover council, service delivery and everyday stories in under‑reported communities with guidance from an experienced editor.
Lead a small team managing media relations, campaigns and content aimed at journalists and civil‑society partners.
We do not list roles that are primarily sales, gambling, betting, adult content, political campaigning or purely advertorial work. This protects the integrity of the Journalism South Africa community.
Reach people who already know the craft.
Use this board when you want applications from people who think like journalists – people who understand ethics, deadlines, fact‑checking, and what a South African audience will and won’t trust.
Journalism South Africa started as a private Facebook group and grew into a carefully curated network of journalists, ex‑journos and students. For 17 years, every post has been checked by our family before it reaches the group.
That same approach sits behind this job board. We give employers a focused place to hire, and give journalists a way to find work without drowning in irrelevant noise.
Coutts Media adds training, mentoring and consulting for newsrooms navigating digital change – from storytelling formats to workflows and culture.
