T


he media is changing so fast that few jobs stay the same and unfortunately journalists cannot always rely on the work they know best continuing throughout their careers.


Diversifying is a way of protecting yourself against a changing landscape and we have two


features on that subject. Neil Merrick speaks to journalists who made positive starts after being made redundant or leaving local newspapers by setting up their own local news websites. And Ruth Addicott finds out what it takes to succeed in media training, a pursuit which can be a lucrative and useful sideline. As news and journalism rapidly reshapes, it’s also interesting


to look back at much earlier innovations in the media. Jonathan Sale traces the very early beginnings of radio which began in a small hut near Chelmsford. Meanwhile there has been a key victory in the NUJ’s long- running campaign on equal pay at the BBC with the ruling by an employment tribunal that Samira Ahmed should receive pay parity with Jeremy Vine. Nicola Slawson looks at the background to the case which will have implications for many other journalists. I hope you find something of interest in this edition of The Journalist.
