A few of the many media and journalism professional organizations with career centers or job boards include the American Advertising Federation, the National Association of Black Journalists, the Public Relations Society of America, the Public Relations Student Society of America, the Society for News Design, and the Society of Professional Journalists. Additionally, available positions at UNC-Chapel Hill are posted via the UNC Human Resources Careers at Carolina job board.
