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.

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. 

-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

I don’t just comb through the interwebs for opportunities because it is part of my demon pact with the ghost of our founder, Eric Studyhall. I also do it so that the Study Hall community can get paid well to write sentences about things. So 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.

–Meredith Turits responded to a job opp a few years ago for a three month project at BBC’s Capital (now called Worklife) vertical. She ended up staying past the contract, with a few short breaks, for about two years, and is now the full-time editor of BBC’s Worklife vertical.
