ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Poynter Institute, a global leader in journalism, has launched Media Jobs Connection, a new job board that includes thousands of daily job listings in the industry and is fueled by cutting-edge technology and targeted network distribution.

Employers who post jobs on Media Jobs Connection (www.mediajobsconnection.poynter.org), will receive unprecedented reach to top journalism and media industry professionals within Poynter's community and across the largest recruitment ad network in North America, resulting in up to four times better response than leading national job boards.

"The innovative job targeting technologies Media Jobs Connection provides will help connect media's best and brightest with the employers who are looking for them," said Poynter President Tim Franklin.

Real-Time Job Matching
Intelligent and reciprocal matching technology not only scores and ranks candidates based on their skills and experience in relation to the job requirements, but also preferences and interests on both sides of the hiring equation.
