From putting plus size supermodel, Tess Holliday and non-binary activist, Jonathan Van Ness on the cover to winning multiple awards and launching a programme to help graduates into work during the pandemic, Cosmo has always been a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Manchester&nbsp;Metropolitan journalism students&nbsp;were honoured to have the chance to interview Cosmo\u2019s Editor-in-Chief, Claire Hodgson for a magcast &#8211;&nbsp;one of a series of audio recordings made by the magazine journalism unit with people working in the magazine industry.<\/p>\n<p>\tClaire opened up to Fionntan Evans and I about how she manages her mental health and provided helpful employability advice to progress into a career as a journalist. The interview was conducted through&nbsp;Teams with&nbsp;multimedia journalism lecturers, Jenna Sloan and Natalie Carragher.<\/p>\n<p>Like a lot of people, Claire\u2019s passion for journalism started in her youth when she would occupy her time reading magazines which naturally sparked her interest in writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always loved media and magazines, when I was growing up I would religiously buy magazines like <em>Smash Hits<\/em>&nbsp;and <em>Top of the Pops<\/em>&nbsp;every week,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Claire recognised the competitive nature of the industry, which is just as cut-throat today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She says: \u201cMy dream job was in the media industry but I told myself it was impossible and that I would never get a job in journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her supportive teachers at high school encouraged her to pursue that path and so Claire\u2019s journey began. Her first experience of making media was editing her school magazine and she then went on to study English Language and Literature at the University of Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the interview, Claire stressed the importance of work experience, such as writing for your university magazine, as you gain the necessary skills to exceed as a journalist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic learning opportunity and teaches you the basics of understanding how to pitch an idea and how to tackle the commissioning process. It\u2019s really important to see the journey through someone\u2019s CV,\u201d she remarks.<\/p>\n<p>Claire spent her summer holidays getting work experience down in London while&nbsp;&nbsp;working a pub job until&nbsp;&nbsp;early hours of the morning to help maintain her finances.<\/p>\n<p>Many students don\u2019t live in the capital and moving to London may not be a feasible option. I asked Claire if she felt it was mandatory to move to a big city like London for a better chance of securing a job.<\/p>\n<p>She says: \u201cWorking from home has become the norm and regardless of what happens with the pandemic, one of the benefits of our world becoming increasingly digital is that it has opened more opportunities outside of London than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a student journalist Fionntan Evans was eager to learn the best way of approaching the daunting yet inevitable step of becoming a journalist &#8211; pitching to publications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image file-default media-element\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-delta=\"1\" data-fid=\"6411\" data-media-element=\"1\" height=\"651\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2020\/10\/fiontann-600x651.png\" width=\"600\"><figcaption>NQ reporter Fiontann Evans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\n\tLike many magazines, Cosmopolitan publishes stories instantaneously in keeping with the trending, hot topics on social media. Fionntan asked Claire how important is it to respond to popular culture and how can you best pitch with pace whilst carrying out adequate research.<\/p>\n<p>She says: \u201cIt\u2019s challenging. If something has happened that\u2019s big news in popular culture we would expect to have that story up within half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the instance where you are curating a story that is reacting to a past event, you have a little bit more time but equally you have to pitch your idea as soon as possible and be willing to turn it round within 24 to 48 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire stresses how important it is to \u201cresearch, research, research\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Digital media has increased the amount of opportunities for writers<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe amount of pitches that we receive that are almost exactly the same as something we\u2019ve already released or something that you\u2019ve seen on ten different websites is a really high proportion.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\">Cosmopolitan&#8217;s website<\/a>&nbsp;shares extensive guidelines on how to structure a pitch and what kinds of stories they are looking for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Digital media has birthed a seemingly impossible turnaround time for a story which is intimidating for students such as myself. But on the flip side, the possibilities for what stories you can create are almost endless.<\/p>\n<p>Claire says: \u201cDigital media has increased the amount of opportunities for writers as we are no longer having to pitch for a finite amount of print pages, which were mainly reserved for more established journalists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fionntan shares that Cosmopolitan&#8217;s content inspired him as a teenager because it was the first time he saw the LGBT community represented in the mainstream media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s my number one priority. We\u2019re very passionate about commissioning the people who have lived through the experience to talk about it, because it isn\u2019t our place to write about something if we haven\u2019t been through it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire adds that in order to submit a worthy pitch, make sure you have a strong, interesting headline and a short synopsis of your story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I shared with Claire that my confidence was knocked last year when I published my first article outside of uni. I received some criticism as I\u2019d included an incorrect statistic due to a lack of research (ironic). I asked Claire how she builds resilience and handles rejection without taking it to heart.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image media-wysiwyg-align-center file-default media-element\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"NQ reporter Alexandria Slater\" data-delta=\"1\" data-fid=\"6416\" data-media-element=\"1\" height=\"394\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2020\/10\/microsoftteams-image.png\" title=\"NQ reporter Alexandria Slater\" width=\"636\"><figcaption>NQ reporter Alexandria Slater<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\n\tShe answered: \u201cI genuinely feel that way now, it\u2019s rare I&#8217;ll have a week where I don\u2019t obsess over what negative feedback I may have received. It\u2019s a very important topic in this age of social media, we\u2019re spending more time in front of our screens so you have a lot more time to feel anxious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire gave us a very beneficial tip that she hasn\u2019t shared with anyone before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve made a folder on my email and any time I get a nice bit of feedback, I save it and drag it into the folder. On the days where I&#8217;m overthinking and doubting myself I read them and think \u2018no, you\u2019re being an idiot.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire acknowledges that advice like \u2018focus on the good stuff\u2019 is easier said than done, especially in a creative industry like journalism because you&#8217;re opening yourself up to personal criticism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I\u2019m feeling low it\u2019s really important to try to remind myself that&nbsp;<strong>it is just work<\/strong>. The people in your life know who you are. Remind yourself where professional you ends and where personal you begins.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While&nbsp;&nbsp;it\u2019s not the immediate solution we\u2019re all desperately seeking, Claire\u2019s vulnerability on this topic was very reassuring. Knowing that an editor in chief of a magazine deals with similar struggles, yet is successful in her career, is genuinely very inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Fionntan, Jenna, Natalie and I found the insight that Claire provided extremely helpful as well as motivating and it was a pleasure to chat with her. It feels like we\u2019ve been let into so many exclusive industry secrets during the interview. Working for a well established and iconic magazine like Cosmo no longer feels unattainable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/471421142\">Check out the full Magcast here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cosmopolitan Magazine boasts the title of biggest young women\u2019s media brand in the world.
