Student Journalism 101: Early career advice for student journalists

IJNet Season 4 Episode 1

Amid the ever-evolving state of technology, regular mass layoffs, and the collapse of local news, student journalists can struggle to figure out what steps they need to take to enter and succeed in the industry once they graduate. 

In the first episode of our new series on student journalism, we spoke with Chip Mahaney, emerging talent leader at E.W. Scripps Company. Mahaney recruits, mentors, and develops college and early-career professionals, making him an expert in what it takes to break into the journalism industry. 

We delve into topics such as how to stand out in competitive marketing, how to utilize LinkedIn, networking tips, navigating career decisions, and more.
