Applying for graduate jobs

I'm just about to start the final year of a languages degree so I'm really starting to think about careers now. Trouble is, I have no idea what to go for!
What I'm really interested in is working with current affairs and politics somehow. I'm applying to the Civil Service already, but it's a one in a million chance of getting in, and obviously I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket. I want to apply for as many positions as possible.
To anyone, who's done the graduate job finding thing, how did you go about it? How did you find out what's available and where? I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the careers department next year, but I want to get the ball rolling now, while I've got nothing else to do.
I'd love to work for a big media company like the BBC, behind the scenes like. But their vacancies all expect you to have about 3 years' media experience.
So, um, yeah. I need more ideas

Trawl through 1000s of websites and newspapers!
Have you spoken to the careers guidance people at your uni? I did once and was surprised to find they were really useful! Good luck.
