This is often called the “super-comma” function of the semicolon: it acts as a higher “level” of comma to separate list items when at least one of the items contains a comma. I’ve used X=X* Y= Z.” about my order. I use Z and write the Z! 2.
I arrange interviews through phone and film ; co-ordinate the editorial team’s travel ; and write blog posts, articles, and reviews of local events.
(This should make it easier to see that you didn’t need the last “I” in your sentence, asJohn Lawler notes in his comment.) If you could mark “I” all the items as “must-be” you would be able to do at least one item. How can we practice the same construction with all three list items?
Much of what is written before items in a list is a comma, and many times not, it ultimately boils down to taste and whether the style guide we’re working with requires it. If you don’t use the Oxford comma, you might be tempted to leave out the final semicolon in a sentence like the one above. Which is a bad idea. If you have a complicated list then try to include the first quarter of the sentence and try to not reread it several times.
