Supporting Journalists on Parental Leave
Keeping up with the news cycle can be all-consuming for journalists. Many struggle to balance their career with family. Especially in Korea, journalists considering parental leave often fear the time away will be a career setback.
To support journalists on parental leave, the Google News Initiative partnered with HeyJoyce and the Journalists Association of Korea to create the Parental Leave Leadership Program. For 6 weeks, parent-journalists have the opportunity to learn more about the latest media trends and network with leaders in their field—all while a team of expert caregivers watch over their children. Over 60 journalists have participated thus far.
