As journalists do you think your careers would be where they were if not for Out in Perth, in other words, did you succeed in journalism in a straight orientated office?
Graeme's answer:
That's a really great question. I previously worked in radio, and film making and animation. Some of those work places were very corporate and mainstream..and yes, I was successful (I think).
OUTinPerth is certainly a very different beast, you have a lot more freedom and creativity, but also a lot less resources.
Many of the staff who've work at OUTinPerth over the years have come from other publications, and returned to mainstream publications. Former OUTinPerth staffer Benn Dorrington is now at Melbourne's Herald Sun, while Nadine Walker is the media adviser to a federal politician.
Sophie's answer:
Well this is my first journalism job, I'd like to think I;d survive regardless of the orientation of the publication, but I think that OUTinPerth allows a creative freedom you don't find at other publications.
