About the webinar:
We all know the media landscape is rapidly changing. So how can journalists today navigate career changes with confidence? Join Bridget Thoreson for a frank discussion of the limitations of linear models for career success in today's working world. We'll cover strategies for recognizing and responding to burnout, examine how to define progress, and hear advice from news professionals who have navigated being laid off, building skills to take on new roles and selling their career stories to hiring managers. You'll leave with a fresh framework for considering your own career journey so far and figuring out where you could head next.
