Bringing the creator economy to you: Inside journalism careers with JUK

Inside journalism careers comes out weekly on Mondays, keeping you up to date on the latest developments in the industry - that's news, job listings, training courses and more.

Ever wondered what the “creator economy” really means for you and your career? Our recent community spotlight article with Sofia Aira dives into the lessons journalists can borrow from creators: building a personal brand, experimenting with new platforms, and engaging directly with audiences.

There's more to it than diving headfirst into this new style of content, though - while creators thrive on personality and niche communities, journalists bring credibility and storytelling chops to the table. The sweet spot? Combining both. Whether you’re a freelancer or in a newsroom, understanding how creators monetise, diversify income, and foster loyal followings can help you future-proof your career.

Ready to make your journalism stand out online? Our “SEO and AI Visibility Fundamentals” course is designed for journalists who want to master the essentials of search and understand how AI is changing the game.

Running in-person in London at the end of March, it'll be a day of learning, networking and building new understanding - and that same evening in London we're proud to be co-hosting Source Code, a new event in the spirit of Hacks/Hackers LDN! Find out more below.
