STUDY HALL’S 2021 STATE OF FREELANCE SURVEY

Study Hall is inviting you (yes, YOU!) to participate in our first State of Freelance Survey. With more than 5,000 subscribers, Study Hall is the largest online community of freelance media workers. Fill out this survey and we’ll use the information to push for better rates, create reports that highlight the struggles freelancers face, and allow for more transparency across the industry. Make sure to take the survey by June 15, 2021, or our founder-turned-notable-ghost, Eric Studyhall, will haunt you for eternity.
RESOURCES
Relying solely on, say, the Study Hall Opportunities newsletter to find work is like trying to do the “Y.M.C.A.” dance alone. It’s sad and please put your arms down. Just as that song takes a Village of People to perform, freelancing also takes a village… of resources. There’s no need to feel down, so pick yourself off the ground. It’s fun to read all the R.E.S.O.U.R.C.E.S.
-The NPR Diverse Sources Database links you up with experts from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in the media. Search by state or expertise, and never make an excuse to fill your features with all-white experts again.
-The Extremism Coverage Prep Guide by Election SOS offers concrete guidance for newsrooms on assessing risks, digital safety, and editorial policies before covering extremism. Please note that to avoid bad actors getting ahold of the resource, they are vetting people before allowing access.
-The Rate Sharing database by the Freelance Solidarity Project has a searchable list of publications so you know what rates they’re paying for what kind of content. It’s an essential resource for making sure you get the best rate possible (or skip the stinkers who don’t pay well).
Want more resources? Check out the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Journalists Therapy Relief Fund; Black Journalists Therapy Relief Fund; Developing An Investigative Pitch Guide; Britany Robinson’s Big List of Writing Deadlines; Study Hall Transcriber Database; Freelancing Guide/Editorial Contacts spreadsheet; #FreelancerPayGap spreadsheet; Pitch Guide Database; Chelsea’s Guide to Freelancing doc; Missed Pitches newsletter; PACER; Priya Krishna’s resources for food writing; and the Election SOS Report.
OPPS SUCCESS STORIES
Do I comb through the interwebs for opportunities because of a blood pact with the ghost of our founder, Eric Studyhall, that brings me international acclaim for my writing? I’m legally (and spiritually) not allowed to say. What I can say is that this pact has led to real people in the Study Hall community getting real jobs that pay real money, unlike the ghost money I am paid with by Eric. If you turned a pitch call into paid work, please let me know by emailing [email protected] with “Opps Success Story” in the subject line.
