  • Moving beyond journalism
    Apr 3 2026

    Michelle Morgan Davies is known as The PR's Friend and has expanded her work from journalism into supporting communications teams in getting their story told and expanding their coverage. Here we discuss how journalism work is changing and that we all need to build more of a portfolio of work when we are freelance/independent. Michelle talks about using those transferable skills and work-life balance as a mother as well as why journalism is becoming harder to have a sole income.

  • Shaping a freelance CV and building your media portfolio
    Mar 27 2026

    Freddie Clayton first came to me for mentoring advice in 2018 when he was in Argentina. He felt his CV needed a redesign and I helped get it into shape before Freddie then worked at the likes of The Telegraph and Sky Sports. But he moved away from sport and into news and the enviornment and returned to me for more guidance on getting that CV right a few years later. Listen to his advice about career paths and why using niche expertise can be a great way to land work.


    If you have similar concerns about your CV or need help with cover letters and interviews then mentoring sessions are available via the website.
