Newsquest Media Group’s Post

"Lights, Camera, Hustle!" - First Job in Media Industry (2018) In mid-2018, I joined Newsrupt Online Media as a Creative Journalist and Video Editor for the Entertainment Desk. This role was my entry into the dynamic world of digital storytelling, balancing the grind of editing with the thrill of chasing stories. The entertainment industry is a whirlwind—but it’s where I learned to turn chaos into creativity. #DigitalMedia #EntertainmentIndustry #CreativeCareers #StorytellingThroughVideo #VideoEditingLife #Newsrupt #KeralaMedia

What did dodgy washing machines and this chap teach me? 😮 Walking onto the set of BBC Watchdog in Television Centre in 1997 was daunting. As a Junior Clerk my job was simple - do whatever anyone asks and do it well. It was always fast paced and often last minute - as you would expect when producing a live, weekly, consumer affairs programme for BBC1. 🎓 As I moved up the ranks to Researcher, Assistant Producer and finally Producer/Director there were a handful of people who took the time to teach me the skills I continue using today. Matt Allwright is the best script writer I've ever worked with. 🟩 Where I used 20 words, he could say it in 10 🟩 Where I struggled with structuring a 5 minute film, he knew the narrative before I'd put pen to paper 🟩 Where I battled to make broken washing machines look sexy - he always had a clever, and often funny, treatment 👀 Producing programmes for a BBC1 audience meant making every word count and finding an engaging way to keep viewers interested. ✅ I use those same skills everyday, helping clients communicate in a crisis which ironically, is often triggered by a call from BBC Watchdog. 😀 And I think it's fair to say that Matt and I continue to learn from each other to this day. #crisiscomms #crisiscommunications #reputationmanagement #mediatraining #issuesmanagement   

One of the most common questions I get from candidates in job interviews is what it's like to work for a company where the entire team is remote. As we're looking for new team members to join us, allow me to answer that question. Working remotely can be incredibly freeing; it means you're not tied to living in big cities where the rent is extortionate (I'm still in London, because I like to torture myself), nor do you have to spend money on rail cards, the Tube or buses. On the flipside, working from home can be isolating. It's just the nature of the situation. This is why it's so important for companies to keep staff engaged, and I'd like to think that we do that at JP. Through trial and error, we've found our groove. There was the dreaded Zoom quiz (I think the team will all agree it wasn't a winner) but there's also the annual JamFest – where our editors Ben Nicholls and Jody Knowles invite us to Cornwall to hang out on the beach, have dinners and drinks, and 'work'. Mind you, I once swam out a bit too far and had to be rescued by a hunky lifeguard but that one's on me... We do team meetings on Zoom just to say hi. We have a Slack channel that acts as a water cooler, where writers can chat about whatever they like (they share a lot of pet photos – I can't complain). We offer trainings, call them weekly and try to be available as much as possible. I can't speak for my team but I can say that from what I've seen in the past four years, they all appear to get on pretty well – which is a rarity in many physical offices. Working from home is about mutual respect and trust – and I trust my team. Yeah, we make bad jokes. We send gifs. We have an infamous Friday Question that the brilliant Lee from the World Team drops in the afternoon. This year's JamFest is happening after summer. I've (understandably so) been banned from ordering shots. I am fairly certain there will be some karaoke (we love that mic far too much) and I know we'll have a good time. So yeah, we're not in an office. All that means is that we make extra effort to create our own version of one. Enough from me... we've got jobs going. If you're looking for a change, give us a shout.

My job hunt continues, and I'm sure plenty of hiring folks understandably wonder how somebody whose background is talking about the weather would actually help them accomplish their goals. I have some answers! ⚡5 reasons why you should hire a former TV meteorologist 🌤️ 1. Because you need somebody who knows all about taking complicated, nuanced information and making it accessible and useful to people who aren't experts. 2. Because you need somebody who is accustomed to consistently meeting strict deadlines. Newscasts don't get delayed because the forecast still needs finishing touches. 3. Because you need an efficient content producer who creates effective collateral for various platforms. Broadcast, social, web... images, videos... I've done it all. 4. Because you need an adaptable problem solver who's skilled at independent work while seamlessly transitioning to collaborative environments and guiding decision-makers. 5. Because you need a writer who adheres to AP Style, polishes written copy and isn't afraid to break out the axe when it's time to edit. Interested in learning more?

Can a sports reporter/editor make the pivot to news? As in would a hiring manager select a sports reporter to handle a local beat like government or education? Part of my motivation of getting a masters degree in journalism is to open the door to academia and to bridge the experience gap to news reporting.
