As radio, TV and newspaper staffs shrink, many journalists are having to face a career away from the news. Some of you are wondering: What skills do I really have? And who else could use my skills? What do hiring managers in other businesses see when they look at a journalist’s resume? Are there options beyond PR?
These are some of the questions Joe Ames has run into in the five years since he left the Orange County Register to launch a new career outside of the news. For nearly 30 years, Joe was a reporter and editor in radio, TV and newspapers. In addition to a 10-year stint as an editor at the Register, Joe was a reporter and editor at The Miami Herald, where he was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize for the coverage of Hurricane Andrew.
Joe has secured a university staff position, launched a consulting company with commercial, government and non-profit clients across the country and sits on three non-profit boards.
He has figured out “Life After Journalism.”
The exercises and discussions during his 90-minute free workshop can help you figure it out, too.
