In a time of mass layoffs and deep uncertainty, we know that many of our features journalism colleagues are struggling. Many have lost their jobs — and even if they still have journalism jobs, they may be exhausted from doing more with less.

Against this backdrop, SFJ wants to provide a space for our members to learn from each other and find support. We’ve organized an hourlong panel discussion with six longtime journalists who successfully managed to pivot in their careers and use their hard-won skills in journalism-adjacent fields.
