50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (October 2, 2023)
Today I started a new job in charge of a tech media site. I realised, that over the years, I have been a finance journalist, a food and drink industry journalist, a travel journalist, a wine journalist, a luxury lifestyle journalist, a hospitality journalist and now a tech journalist. Do I get bored easily? Is a change as good as a rest? Do I enjoy the challenge of climbing the learning curve over and over? Or do I find it difficult to say no?
This week’s calls below.
