Slewfootsnop: What are employers advertising for in journalism job ads?

Murray Dick has created a nice word cloud of the skills being sought by journalism employers by running a series of job ads through Wordle.

Dick took the latest 25 ads (as of August 30) from our jobs feed; 24 results from a search of Guardian jobs for the term ‘journalism’; and 20 results from a search through the BBC jobs site for ‘journalist’.

[He explains the process in full in his blog post.]

Below is the result:

It’s interesting to see how prominent the term ‘team’ is – but no appearance of ‘audience’ or ‘online’ either [my eyesight stands corrected].
