Life after the newsroom:
5 entrepreneurs
Is there life after the newsroom?
We’ve got the stories of five entrepreneurs who say, “Yes!”
As part of a weeklong webinar called ‘How to be an Entrepreneur as a Business Journalist’, Joe Grimm hosted a live chat with five successful business journalists turned entrepreneurs. Grimm, a visiting journalist at Michigan State University’s School of Journalism, asked our five entrepreneurs to share their stories .. successful and otherwise.
In case you missed this Webinar, there is another during the week of Aug. 9-13.
Click below on their names to read their stories and listen to a quick message with tips to anyone else thinking about striking out on their own.
