Breaking into journalism can be an uphill battle, with news organisations in flux and a steady stream of enthusiastic would-be recruits vying for cadetships.
In this Edit Q&A webinar, moderator and ABC producer Matilda Marozzi talks with three editors from metro and regional Victorian newsrooms about breaking into the industry: how to get your foot in the door, what keeps editors and executive producers happy, and how to leverage your existing skills to work towards your dream job.
Featuring
- Matthew Brown, Senior Producer for Victoria and Tasmania, ABC
- Tyla Harrington, McPherson Media Group news editor
- Kate McGrath, award winning journalist and chief of staff at two Melbourne newsrooms
