The JOC, which annually attracts more than 60 news media recruiters representing about 50 companies, is co-sponsored by the Black Journalists Assn. of Southern California, the Los Angeles chapter of the Asian American Journalists Assn., and the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication School of Journalism. The JOC includes the USC Annenberg School of Journalism job fair. Major corporate sponsors for the JOC have included the Los Angeles Times, ABC7/ABC Inc., KTLA5/Tribune Broadcasting, and McClatchy. Non-media sponsors have included The California Wellness Foundation and Kaiser Permanente. About 300 students and professionals with varying levels of experience attend the job fair looking for internships, entry-level jobs or to move up to their next job at a bigger paper or market. Interviews for jobs and internships are all walk-up interviews. The days, times and methods of interviews are at the discretion of the recruiters. Workshops on Video Tape Critiques and Resume Writing/Interviewing Tips are held on Friday during the conference. There are different registration fees for students and professionals, but it is the same whether you attend one day or both days. Recruiter/Exhibitor registration fees range from $250 to $600, depending on broadcast market size or print circulation. |
