When recent grads doing the requisite networking rounds ask me my best advice for breaking into journalism, I always have two words: TRADE PUBS. Many of them have never heard the term, and they’re seriously limiting their job search as a result. Trade publications -- or niche industry news sources for a group of dedicated, well-informed, sector-specific readers -- are a fantastic place to cut your teeth. You’re never just getting coffee or making copies there as a new hire. In my experience, from day one, you’ll be reporting and writing and learning everything you can about whatever the paper covers, be it nonferrous metals (hello, me in 2008!) or telecom or annuities or what have you. Every industry has a trade pub of record, and there’s no better way to learn the ropes fast. And the travel! While I was covering the global metal markets in my early 20s, I traveled to Bahrain, Chile, Germany, Mexico, the UK and throughout the continental US to attend conferences, tour smelters and meet sources. Sure, sometimes, I’d wonder if understanding the world’s alumina trade or China’s flat-rolled steel demand was too niche a skillset. But now, from my perch of senior editor for energy and commodities at Bloomberg News, I realize it was truly the best foundation. On that note, my friend Cliff White, executive editor at SeafoodSource, tells me he’s hiring an associate editor. Employees can be based anywhere in the US (though why WOULDN’T you want to be located in Portland, Maine??) This would be a fantastic way for an early-stage journalist to refine those editing chops and master the skills you’ll need throughout the rest of your career. #jobs #journalism #journalismjobs #editor #maine #seafood #hiring #jobopening #tradepubs https://lnkd.in/dmVwjqJ3

I really appreciate these thoughts: The media industry is RIPE FOR CHANGE both from a journalism standpoint and as a creative industry. reGEN Impact Media is embarking on a number of R&D projects over the next 12-24 months, preparing for fellowship & partnership opportunities, and continuing to work on cracking the nut to take global advertising from where it is now to the role it could play in the future. #journalists #creatives #careertransition, if you are open to short-term and freelance opportunities and intrigued to explore the following challenges as we are, please don't hesitate to connect. Thank you. Challenge #1:  Hollywood doesn’t work for everyone. Mass consolidation is happening in the streaming industry because its model is not profitable. This lack of profitability is passed onto creative teams. The economy of filmmaking and the trust surrounding it continues to erode. As evidenced by last year’s strike and agencies currently closing their doors, the media industry is ripe for change. Challenge #2:  A lack of sustainability is limiting creative industry potential. According to a Sundance Institute study, only about 43% of independent filmmakers rely solely on income generated from their filmmaking activities. Challenge #3:  A lack of targeted fanbase and closed-loop community needed in the expanding competitive environment According to a 2020 Statista report, in 2020, the number of films released worldwide reached over 10,000. As a result, filmmakers face fierce competition for audience attention and distribution opportunities, making it challenging for their work to stand out and achieve success. Challenge #4:  Audiences feel empty and disconnected. The current media ecosystem is fixated on a profits-focused “fast-food media” approach. 75% of teenagers say that are fearful about the future, and suicide is now the second leading cause of death for people under the age of 34 in the US. Loneliness has reached such unprecedented proportions that the US Surgeon General has declared it an epidemic. This is happening at a moment when the average adult consumes more stories - 8 hours a day worth - than ever before, and yet, the current media industry isn’t answering the call for better.

Good entry level role at ITN

📢 Our team is recruiting a Media Relations and Communications Officer! Salary - 35k. 📢   The job was just recently held by Claire Penketh FRSA MBCS who I’m proud to say has moved into a senior policy engagement role in the team. So you can still benefit from her advice as well as the experience of Amanda Matheson and Daniel Aldridge MBCS 😊   You’ll ideally have some experience of writing and ‘selling in’ stories to journalists (we speak to national tech and education correspondents – as well as IT industry publications).   You might be a current or recent journalist. You might be working in a PR role where you’re already a good writer creating press releases and evidence based pitches that have led to news coverage and stakeholder engagement.   What will I be writing about and promoting?   Anything from the diversity gap in tech, to policy changes in computing education, to technical insights on AI or quantum cryptography.   We are the professional body for IT; this is a great role for someone who loves seeing stories about the transformational power of computing (and its challenges) appearing in external media.   A key part of the job is translating policy insight and research reports into concise content - and that includes social media posts and briefings, as well as news stories.   You’ll get to work with some of our brilliant expert members to ensure their knowledge of tech issues reaches the mainstream.

Media Communications is all Very Personal The secret to success with media communications is reliability and personal relationships. Editors, journalists, photographers, news anchors, reporters .... and advertising representatives are human: they like engagement, they like interest, they like interaction and most of all they like personable encounters with their public relations and marketing colleagues. Secondly, they like you even more if you get to know them and the content of their publications. Thirdly, your reliability is critical to their success in receiving (and sourcing) good content and on time. Showing interest in the publications that meet your target audience is one thing, absorbing the sector's breadth and technicalities is a plus, triple that by walking the talk is 100%! You'd be surprised as to how many human media peeps become friends and not just contacts on your phone when you take the time to build a relationship with them - no matter if they hop from concrete to plastics, from automation to infrastructure - follow them... track them down 😊 stay in touch! #mediacomms #industry #engineering
