Comms Leaders Founders & Recruiters - Hiring Former Journalists

I'm working on an article and would love to hear from communications leaders, founders, recruiters, and former journalists. Have you hired a former journalist onto your communications team—or made the transition yourself? I'm especially interested in hearing: ✅ Why you made the hire (or career move) ✅ What skills translated better than expected ✅ Whether journalists bring a different perspective than traditional PR or communications professionals ✅ Advice you'd give to other hiring managers If you're open to being quoted, leave a comment below or send me a message. I'd love to include a range of perspectives.
