Freelance Journalism (HB)

Freelance Journalism Book Description

Freelance journalism becomes successful only when you comfortably spend much time hunting down stories, traveling from place to place, and writing under short deadlines. Journalists usually interview anyone with a meaningful connection to the topic, and who can provide some good, succinct quotes and information. Information-gathering goes on for most of the day, usually ending around evening.

As a rule, newspaper journalism involves a much narrower range of subject matter than magazine journalism, significantly shorter articles, and a greater focus on form. The career of a journalist isn't for everyone. Whereas many freelance writing projects are about a predictable routine of research and writing, the variety and novelty of writing news and feature articles eschews all routine in favour of a constant flurry of ad hoc interviews, phone calls and general information-gathering.
