Webinar - Reclaim Your Story, Reclaim Your Career
Educational Webinars
Your journalism career probably hasn't followed a straight line — and that's not a problem to fix. In this session, career strategist and veteran journalist Bridget Thorson introduces the Career River framework, a research-backed approach to navigating uncertainty, transitions, and the unexpected moments that define a working life in media.
Bridget draws on interviews with more than 150 journalism and media professionals and workshop research across 106 countries to reframe how journalists think about career progress — moving beyond the org chart to a broader map that includes stability, skill-building, and satisfaction alongside status.
Attendees will work through interactive exercises designed to surface their own transferable skills, pressure-test their definitions of success, and develop a concrete forward plan grounded in who they are — not just what's on their resume.
Whether you're actively job-hunting, burned out, mid-transition, or simply uncertain about what's next, this session offers practical tools for getting unstuck and finding work that fits.
