How CarouseLabs Helps Journalists Build a Following That Follows Them Anywhere

LinkedIn is where professionals who value good journalism, plus the sources and editors reporters work with, gather. It lets a journalist build a loyal, portable audience that isn't tied to any single outlet.

Journalists build audiences for the outlets they write for, but rarely for themselves — and in an unstable media industry, that's a real risk. A byline reaches readers who forget the writer's name by the next article, and when jobs are precarious, an audience that lives on the outlet rather than on the journalist offers no security. Promoting your own work can also feel uncomfortable, and deadlines leave no time to build a personal brand. The journalists who build a portable following turn their reporting into content that makes readers follow them: they share the story behind the story, explain the context a headline can't hold, and teach media literacy. That following travels with them, wherever they go. LinkedIn is where professionals who value good journalism and the sources and editors who work with reporters gather. CarouseLabs helps journalists turn their reporting into carousels that build a loyal, portable audience.
