Moving beyond journalism

April 3, 2026 · 26 min

Show notes

Michelle Morgan Davies is known as The PR's Friend and has expanded her work from journalism into supporting communications teams in getting their story told and expanding their coverage. Here we discuss how journalism work is changing and that we all need to build more of a portfolio of work when we are freelance/independent. Michelle talks about using those transferable skills and work-life balance as a mother as well as why journalism is becoming harder to have a sole income.


If you are looking to expand your portfolio of work but concerned about your CV or need help with cover letters and interviews - then mentoring sessions are available via the website.


There are 6 pages of media jobs to browse and there is also a WhatsApp channel for job alerts.
