In your groups… ,[object Object]
Here’s one I did earlier… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
So what does this mean for me? How am *I* going to get a job?
1. What does the job description look like?
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object]
[object Object]
Working journalist Richard says: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Or as journalist, Ian Betteridge put’s it: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
2. Start now Being a journalist doesn’t start with your first paid job.
Where to begin? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
And a quick word about how not to become a spammer on Twitter ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
And if you don’t want to write or if you want to add other content to your site…
Photos ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Adding photos to your site ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Audio – for direct non-edited reporting ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Edited Music/Audio ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Upload and share videos via Twitter ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
You can also share/embed presentations on your website ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
In all this… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Some additional ideas from the BBC’s Rory Cellan Jones: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/rorycellanjones/2010/02/new_tools_for_new_journalists.html
Oh, and have a business card ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Finally… make sure your portfolio/CV is online ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What others say: "Watch what you publish on Facebook. Watch your language, images and privacy settings/visibility. If you don't, your prospective future employer probably will" build an online social media presence for your portfolio Focus on your "personal brand" online -LinkedIn and Google results and offline. Get portfolio online, be accessible online, offer to blog/report events for groups, continual CPD Do not use the word ‘perusal’ in your covering email for your CV
3. Be aware of journalistic trends
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
4. Consider other occupations Here are just a few…
PR ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Advertising ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Other communication agencies ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
