A FEATURES editor is being sought by the Dundee-based daily newspaper, The Courier.

The vacancy is being advertised, here, on the allmediascotland.com media jobs board.

And The Courier’s sister title, the Evening Express, is seeking an assistant content editor, as advertised here.

You too can post a media job ad on the site.

Not only will your advert appear on the front page of the site, including on the slider, but it will be tweeted to over 17,000 people (twitter.com/allmedianews and twitter.com/allmediajobs) and featured in the allmediascotland weekday eNewsletter (which has almost 4,000 recipients).
