Don't take No for an answer

In this episode, the host chats with Joanne Goodwin, the editor of Cheshire Life, about her journey in journalism and her mission to refocus the magazine on the community's heart. Joanne shares her challenges and triumphs since becoming the editor in March 2020, just as the pandemic began.

She discusses how the magazine had to adapt its content focus, emphasizing local events, entrepreneurs, and the diverse population of Cheshire, while moving away from the stereotype of an exclusive focus on celebrities and footballers' lifestyles. Their conversation also touches on the broader landscape of journalism, highlighting the increased representation of women in the field and the evolving nature of media.
