🎇 Shaping Media Support: What Media Professionals Really Face 🎇
The media industry will always be celebrated for its creativity. I got into media production because of my love of storytelling but, as my career progressed, I also became aware of the fact that the reality behind the scenes is often stressful, under-supported and exhausting.
I am the founder of Creative Reset and the company recently conducted a survey on the matter - a huge thanks to all of you who participated. Said survey gives a glimpse into the challenges media professionals face every day. The results:
💥 Support in roles: Only 8% feel very supported. Half feel only somewhat supported, and over 40% feel not very or not at all supported.
💫 Feeling valued: 83% sometimes feel valued - but the remaining feel overlooked or under-appreciated.
âš¡ Burnout: Half of respondents have experienced burnout in the last year.
Here’s what participants told us:
💬 'More staff and realistic project timelines are desperately needed.'
💬 'Better mentoring and training opportunities when out of work would help me feel valued.'
💬 'Workplace culture needs to change - less micro-managing, more recognition, safer working practices.'
💬 'I feel under pressure to produce while my contributions aren’t really acknowledged. It’s exhausting.'
These voices show that media organisations must do more than just meet deadlines - they need to actively invest in the people delivering the work.
If you work in media, does this resonate with your experience? What would make your role more supported and sustainable?

Let’s start the conversation. I know that media can flourish, but only if its professionals do too.
