The Scripps Journalism Journey Initiative pairs experienced print journalists with full-time roles in local and national broadcast newsrooms, offering training, mentoring, job shadowing, hands-on work and individual coaching. The program aims to help journalists adopt platform delivery skills while leveraging existing reporting expertise. Implementing recruitment, training and retention infrastructure targets mid-career transitions into broadcast careers. Participants face new jargon, workflows and technical demands that create a steep learning curve for many. Experiences vary: some find the transition rewarding and revitalizing, while others find it overwhelming or disillusioning. Two cohorts have entered the program since its launch.
They've already got the journalism part down, but they have to have the platform delivery down,
And so putting in place the infrastructure to be able to recruit, train and retain mid-career journalists and launch them into careers in Scripps newsrooms is the opportunity.
It can certainly be a challenging (transition) overall, and an exciting one. I think it really depends on the person that is entering into the challenge, where they are in their career, what they're looking for, how open they are to change.
