Freelance best practices for journalists during coronavirus

The emergence of the novel coronavirus has hit the news industry hard — journalists are being furloughed and laid off, and freelancers are facing frozen budgets and less work than they anticipated. If you’ve lost your full-time job, how can you get started as a freelancer? If you’re a freelancer who’s lost clients, how can you adapt?

Join journalist Meena Thiruvengadam, a freelance writer, audience development consultant and journalism trainer whose work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal and Travel and Leisure, as she offers advice for freelancers during this challenging time.

“As a freelancer during the pandemic, I’ve felt more empowered and secure than I expected. But I’ve had to pivot,” she wrote recently for Poynter.
