£1.99

24 pages stacked with advice, pitching tips, further resources and a catalogue of publications and contacts that first-time writers might want to reach out to.

Description

Are you looking to start a career in journalism but struggling to know where to start?

The journalism industry can be hard to navigate and when you’re without contacts and wealth privilege, information and opportunities are often gatekept. This is stopping the necessary, diverse, innovative, first-person stories that the media landscape desperately needs.

Instead we believe the industry needs to be more supportive and diverse, to nurture space for transformative ideas, voices and stories to be told.

To tackle this gatekeeping head-on and create space for new writers to flourish, we’ve created this Starter Pack for early career journalists. Pooling resources from within and beyond shado’s network, this includes advice from journalists from The Independent and Novara Media, pitching tips, further resources and a catalogue of publications and contacts that first-time writers might want to reach out to.
