Moving From Journalism Into Podcasting

from The Media Mentor

Apparently 2026 is the new 2016! So this week I chat to Emily Uchida Finch, who first came to me for advice in 2016. We find out how she's doing ten years later and what her journey has been like. Emily talks about working for an international broadcaster, moving into local journalism and how she broke into podcasting. There are many valuable lessons that she shares, from my initital advice to making herself available for work outside of her 9-5 job.If, like Emily did, you want some advice and support then mentoring sessions are available via the website.Also on the website are 6 pages of media jobs to browse. There is also a WhatsApp channel for job alerts as I find the listings.If you have any questions about media careers or a story that you would like to share then please get in touch.More details about The Media Mentor can be found here.For all the latest job listings head here.To get alerts on media jobs as they drop follow the MM WhatsApp channel here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
