Job Opportunity in Sydney, Australia!

Fancy swapping London’s two-tone grey skyline for Sydney’s emerald harbour? Do you prefer walks on the beach to walks through Asda car park? Or perhaps the life of an endless summer appeals more than the endless tube commute.

The Misfits Media Company is offering a City University journalism post grad a full time job in Australia (we’ll even look after the visa).

Of course, it’s not all latte sipping in the sun and hanging five on Bondi beach, we do actually do some work from time to time. For which we need a great news journalist to produce scintillating stories, gather scoops and be an all-round team player.

About The Misfits

B&T is owned by The Misfits Media Company, which was co-founded by City University post grad, Dan Uglow and his business partner, David Hovenden. Further to B&T, our portfolio of brands also includes a travel industry publication, Travel Weekly; 8 awards shows, 2 conferences and a creative marketing agency.

The Misfits, and especially B&T, is growing at a rapid rate and we require more journalists. However, Australia is a small market and it’s hard to find suitably skilled Aussie journos. We’re looking for the best and we know that City Uni produces them.
