This is the conversation I’ve had with almost every single former journalist I’ve ever spoken to: How much slower it takes to get things done in the real world and how difficult and frustrating it is trying to de-program ourselves. But, is the business world catching on to the value journalists bring to the table? Just this morning I came across a Director of Public Relations position for a major global company and the job requirement for the PR role: “Bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, marketing, or related field.” Another basic requirement: “You are nimble, organized, and can manage multiple projects simultaneously, while paying close attention to detail.” The problem is most people have no idea what a TV news producer actually does. Line producers deal with breaking news on the fly, make snap decisions, while juggling many moving parts during a LIVE broadcast. They are the definition of NIMBLE and they do it while also working under an incredible amount of pressure, not just on a daily basis, but a minute-to-minute basis. People are always quick to hire the “face” of a news station. While I’m not trying to take away from that, it is short-sighted to not look at *TV NEWS PRODUCERS* for the role, too. Anchors are the plate that arrives at your table. Producers are the chef. #newsproduction #producer #tvproducer #newsproducer #tvnews #hire

If you want something done, ask a journalist. (Or a former journalist.) Daily deadlines we cannot shake. If we didn't deliver in a day, we didn't do our job. If a communications strategist sends you an email three weeks later, they start with "Thanks for your patience." "Sorry for the delay". "Circling back after review". Different career verticals have different expectations and that's okay but if you are looking to hire someone who can produce quality work and act swiftly, consider hiring that journalist. All things considered, if you have two candidates and one has a journalism background....Take a chance on the journalist. Would the memo be better written if they took a week to send it back? Possibly. But there is power and momentum in getting it done. #hireajournalist

⬇ I've worked at PitchBook as a senior reporter (Dear, PR: No shameless pitches permitted!) for all of three months. They've been some of the best yet. PitchBook people, consummate pros, all—from us Newsies to The Normals—care. They care a whole lot. They 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘺 care about me (could be you :) on both a professional and a personal level. In my notably unbiased opinion—journalists have zero opinions, remember—we, a tight-knit team, punch well above our weight. We nail timely trends, backing trend stories up with the most robust private market alts data on the planet. Perhaps in the universe. We land scoops that move the needle. And, if a cliche it may be, we work smart, hard and together. We just get the ins and out, ups and down of complex, opaque markets about as well as ~industry participants~ (call out this jargon in my next scoop.) You get paid for obtaining a bootstrapped MBA, as well as one helluva' crash course in sensitive sourcing building, plus the know-how to write and edit with both deep subject matter expertise and a dash of literary flair. A bad deal this is not. Feel free to DM or email me with questions: michael.bodley@pitchbook.com P.S. PitchBook people >>> Pierpoint people. If you get the reference without Googling, congrats; you have won one (1) free pitch.

I always look for the former journalists. Being one myself, I know they care about their work (because they are used to putting their name on it and watching it go public), they thrive in a fast paced environment that is deadline driven, they like to see things through to completion, and they have a high attention to detail. Journalists don't waste time or money (because they are driven by the work, not the pay, obviously- media doesnt pay). They listen carefully and act quickly to find solutions. They are self motivated and independent, while also being strong, competitive team players. They make good marketing communications professionals, proposal writers, sales executives, business coaches, and community leaders. #hireajournalist

Which companies are actively hiring for journalists? There's been an avalanche of journalists taking exec roles on marketing teams, and more and more companies are leaning in each month. I've been doing some homework on which orgs are leaning into opening roles meant for those with journalism backgrounds - a few great finds: VP Editorial @ Moody's Corporation - https://lnkd.in/eZKxcCjp Director, Content Marketing @ Riskified - https://lnkd.in/e3YeZ-Bj Editorial Director, Newsletter Strategy, @ Goldman Sachs - https://lnkd.in/ev3N5FDh Content Marketing Manager @ Healthee - https://lnkd.in/eYvdmvhX Director of Editorial @ EnergySage - https://lnkd.in/eWNeGTSk Call it brand publishing, call it brand journalism, call it what you want - but brands are hiring talented reporters + editors in droves, and finding sustainable ways to produce content that audiences rely on to do their jobs/live their lives. Who else has open roles that would be great for journalists thinking about the next chapter?
