How to Use GEMALINKS:
GEMALINKS
is a collection of websites related to the media and entertainment
industries, designed to help you investigate the industry,
untangle the network of companies, and to set you on a
path to find what you're looking for.
Explore the General Reference General
Reference list to get to get a broad overview of how
things work and to find general job sites.
If you want to search a specific field, visit one of the
Industry Areas. Industry Areas
You'll find links to sites that offer useful background
information about an industry area and links to specific
job sites for this industry area.
Keep in mind that there are many media conglomerates that
own sub-companies or have divisions dedicated to a specific
industry area. You may want to visit sites for both the
division you are interested in and the parent company
to do the most thorough research.
You might need to do some investigation through multiple
sites, or multiple areas, before you find exactly what
you're looking for.
Example:
If you visit Time
Warner's job site, you can search careers at any of
TW's divisions, from television at Turner Broadcasting,
to publishing at Time, Inc., to even comic books at DC
Comics. However, if you are interested only in film careers,
you might want to go directly to the specific site for
the film studio, at Warner
Brothers Studios.
This list is a good start, but is by no means exhaustive.
