This was a great chat and really insightful as someone just learning, it’s hard to know how things will evolve. I did culinary arts and was going to go into a journalism conversion masters but it doesn’t seem worth it given how much is changing.
Personally, I think everything will get more and more independent and just writing won’t be enough, there’ll have to be visuals or audio too. People just aren’t spending the time reading near as much anymore. Especially with restaurant reviews which have been nearly entirely replaced by social media and Google reviews.
I do think food media is definitely on the up though and it’ll keep growing, more people will start to get engaged in all kinds of food media.
I suppose ultimately we could never know what direction anything is going but at least people are getting more interested in food! That definitely feels promising.
First time engaging with this - brilliant and informative chat John and Ali and some great recommendations.
Fab chat guys! Absolutely agree about you tube and making video content-I can feel a little awkward!
Thank you for this John and Sally. That was such a useful and insightful chat.

Great content guys !
I think you've hit the nail on the head here Gibbonero, this is the future of food writing.
