After his return to Sweden from Petrograd, Jerring became a freelance journalist and wrote for the Vadstena Läns Tidning; in 1921 he moved to Östgöta-bladet where he wrote articles under the pseudonym Jerker Ring. In 1923 Jerring started working at Åhlén & Åkerlunds förlag; the same year he also started working for the publishing house's radio show and made his radio debut on 2 December 1923.

When Radiotjänst (now known as Sveriges Radio) started broadcasting on 1 January 1925, Jerring became its presenter and announcer.
