RESOURCES

You should know by now to never put all your eggs in one basket — especially if the eggs are publications that ignore your invoices. Freelancing is a juggling act, and relying on only one resource to find gigs won’t work. 

Have resources you’d like to see added that have helped you? Send them to [email protected] for approval with “Resource:” in the subject line.

-The Election SOS Report gathered tips on trust-building and improving engagement from 18 newsrooms across the US. It features lessons and exercises that can be used to improve coverage across any topic, not just politics. 

-The Developing An Investigative Pitch guide by the Ida B. Wells Society is a great resource for any reporter interested in investigative journalism. It provides a 29-page walkthrough to develop the perfect pitch, including tips for choosing a character for your investigation.
