Pasadena, CA — EmploymentCrossing.com recently launched one of the most ambitious undertakings to ever occur in the journalism job market: JournalismCrossing.com. JournalismCrossing.com’s goal is to consolidate every single journalism job opening in the United States (and internationally, eventually) on its website. JournalismCrossing.com consolidates job openings from employer websites, association websites, and other job boards. By providing job seekers a "one-stop shop" for journalism jobs, JournalismCrossing.com believes it can save job seekers in the journalism industry hundreds of hours of unnecessary research.

Every journalist has his or her own forte in writing on a certain topic or subject related to a specific field. Some might be good at carving out articles related to sports, while others might be aces at writing sensational political reports. Every journalist aspires to be where his or her talent can be utilized thoroughly. As such, journalists need a remarkable and comprehensive job board which scavenges thousands of job profiles to provide them with the perfect media job.

The market for journalism jobs is not in great shape these days, but JournalismCrossing.com provides exclusive job listings which cannot be found on any other job board. JournalismCrossing.com offers a wide array of journalistic jobs and has pioneered a unique way of searching through those jobs. The site does not charge employers anything for posting jobs; rather, it charges those who want to take advantage of the thousands of employer jobs posted on the site.

Journalism has been witnessing a sharp shift in outlook of late, with most news and publication companies preferring online media over traditional print media. According to Nora Paul of the Institute for New Media Studies, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, of the 1,483 dailies which are circulated throughout US, 86% have their own websites. Though the journalism field doesn’t have much to boast about in terms of job increases, the scope for online journalism has definitely widened.

"Let's face it," says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of JournalismCrossing, "the market for journalism jobs is not in great shape. JournalismCrossing.com levels the playing field for our subscribers because we show them where the journalism jobs are."

According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site its first day were:
