Jarryd got his first taste of the media industry working for Caxton’s local newspaper division covering Johannesburg’s western suburbs.
Four accomplished years at community level saw him win the Alet Roux Award twice as well as receive multiple Forum of Community Journalism (FCJ) award nominations.
A short stint at a digital sports publication predominantly covering African sport led him to a publication he is passionate about.
At The Citizen, he gravitates toward stories relating to governance and burning social issues, but is comfortable accepting any challenge.
