News Bites: Racing the Clock with Dr Caroline James-Garrod
Listen on
Episode notes
Today’s News Bites guest is journalist and CAJ Lecturer Dr Caroline James-Garrod. Caroline got her start as a cadet at Leader Community Newspapers in Melbourne. Since then, she’s had an expansive career working across the country and abroad.
She’s also seen major industry upheavals, from the rise of the 24/7 online news cycle to the era of mass job cuts. These shifts have left many journalists with too much work and not enough time, an issue Caroline researched as part of her PhD on time poverty.
For News Bites, Caroline spoke with senior tutor Bernadette Nun. She shared advice for starting a career in community news and navigating an industry where jobs are scarce and time is precious.
