- Company Initiative Offers Student Loan Repayment Bonuses for the First Time

Morgan Murphy Media is launching two company-wide efforts designed to better attract and grow high-quality journalists and station leaders.

Journalism 365 is a comprehensive development program for early-stage journalists to get on-the-job training and personal development experiences that set them up for a long and successful career.

Selected participants will spend one year in a company newsroom working through a dedicated month-by-month curriculum designed by newsroom and company leaders.

Journalism 365 participants will earn $5,250 in the first year to pay back student loans.

That annual bonus is available for two additional years should the participant stay with the company in any role.

In total, these journalists can earn $15,750 on top of a competitive wage and benefit package.

Those without student loans are still eligible for the J365 program bonuses.

“These investments are unique in our industry and are intended to send a strong message – Morgan Murphy Media is committed to your growth,” said MMM EVP/COO Brian Burns.

Under a second new program, called Grow with MMM, the company is setting aside a new investment fund for current team members who desire additional training and personal development programs.

This fund will be open to everyone in the company across all departments.

MMM is also creating a dedicated website to showcase all training opportunities available both inside and outside the company allowing anyone to apply in a matter of minutes.
