"For foreign journalists...there are plenty of local problem solvers... These fixers speak good English, find compelling stories and file requests [for] journalists who either do not speak Ukrainian, or would have struggled to name Ukrainian cities..." edition.cnn.com/2022/07/20/opi…

.@hysperbole runs around secret military bases, in her PJs in the dead of night, so you don't have to. A terrific "slice of life" piece on reporting in Somalia by a terrific reporter. Read the whole surreal story in @thebafflermag. thebaffler.com/latest/prelude…

With a new board and a committed reset, @ffregister is dedicated to highlighting the work of our members, but also dedicated to highlighting the importance of freelance journalism in the media landscape in general. We hope reporters will get in touch so we can promote as possible

Many newsrooms have reporters dedicated to climate change, of course. But freelancers operate with a level of independence that allows them to follow a nuanced beat or angle and get it in front of a variety of audiences. There's value in that, as well.

As it heats up in Europe, the UK and parts of the US and rich countries consider #climatechange, it's worth remembering that freelance journalists have been independently sticking with this beat from the world's most frontline spots for years.

This list is meant to show the value of freelance reporting, which allows journalists to stick to a beat or a place for months or years. @AzmatZahra won the @PulitzerPrizes after covering the civilian toll of US-led airstrikes over six years: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

After spending years covering the migration route from Africa to Europe via Libya, reporting from a variety of angles for myriad outlets, we are thrilled to see @sallyhayd's book honored, and hope it will draw more attention to the shocking violations and EU complicity revealed.
