a whole straddles traditional paper journalism and web writing.

Craig's List |
Good job listings under web development and writing, particularly in the
Bay Area. But they have sites for every major city. Caution: job listings
are just a small part of their site, but the jobs tend to focus on high
tech and web content, at least in areas where companies are doing that
kind of crazy stuff.

Online writing job sites in journalism, corporate, and health writing.
Sidebars offer links to sites with media news, and reference works. The
clean, simple design focuses on sites that really help writers. Hidden
virtue: the examples of online storytelling, showing what the web can do
better than print, radio, or tv. Interactivity, giving readers a voice,
giving writers a voice, explaining stuff. Brought to you by Michelle
Nicolosi, who started life as a reporter, went through biz dev in dot coms,
and now edits Japan Media Review and the Online Journalism Review for the
Annenberg School of Communication at University of Southern California.

Founded by freelance journalist Laurel Touby, this site is fun. Aimed at
writers, editors, copywriters, producers, and designers of both old and
new media, MB offers articles, job listings, nitty gritty details of
insurance, and freelancing. The site tends to focus on New York. In fact,
visiting is like making your way through a Chelsea party. But the team is
moving their workshops to other major cities around the US. If you
subscribe, you can get the transcripts of earlier events. Discussions put
you in touch with other writers and editors in your area…even if you are
in Toronto, London or Paris.

National Writers Union |
A fighter for freelancers, the union offers sample contracts, legal
defense, and a place to gossip. (Not just Web writers, here). Worth
visiting, for their defense of freelancers against corporations grabbing
all rights from writers. A sprinkling of jobs, with the caveat that you
have to pay NWU a finder's fee of 10% of the first four months' income.
