We talk a lot on our podcast about “young journalists†coming into the field and what they should know in order to succeed. Wasn’t it about time for us to have a young journalist in to talk about the challenges of finding that first job?
Margaret Ely has come a long way in a short time.
A recent graduate of the Indiana University School of Journalism, she’s now a Web producer at The Washington Post.
“I just had no idea what I wanted to do,†she said. “But, I took one journalism class and I fell in love with it. We did a current events quiz and I aced it. That makes me sound really silly. I was just like this is so fun and there's so much you can do. You can do broadcast or you can do public relations, Indiana kind of gave you all of that. It just rung with me for some reason.â€
Ely shared here observations about being a young journalist in these trying times with It's All Journalism Producers Megan Cloherty, Anna Miars and Michael O'Connell.
