Journalism job in the UK

Q: My girlfriend is graduating in journalism (from San Francisco State University) and moving to join me here in the United Kingdom; your site is an amazing resource but we are hoping we can find something similar for U.K. work. Do you know of any useful sites online? She is primarily interested in work along the lines of copy-editing, proofreading even, but at this point we'll take whatever we can get, including internships.

She doesn't have "paid work experience" but does have a couple of years in reporter and copy-editor positions for the college newspaper, and has also done some freelance proofreading.

Bruno

A: Is there anyone who can help Bruno and his girlfriend with a Website or some advice on immigrating to the U.K. or breaking into markets there?

What kind of visa would she need? At what level should she try to break in?
