We are about to enter 2024.
It’s hard to predict what will happen in the world of journalism.
I say always be prepared for the unexpected.
Network.
Keep your resume and LinkedIn updated.
Network more.
And if you are laid off, see your job disappear, or need to get out of a lousy newsroom—remember it is not the end of the world. You will find another job, but be patient and persistent.
Thanks to everyone who helped make my #CallingAllJournalists Initiative successful since I started it in February. I will continue to compile my free journalism jobs list each month and offer articles on how to thrive and survive in journalism.
