‘Building a career in business journalism’ and freelancing advice
Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.
💸 ‘How this freelancer made $27,000 in 1 month’: Freelancing with Tim interviewed a freelancer who made $27,000 in one single month (yes! You read that right!). How? A combination of being picky with what jobs you take, reaching out to companies you might not have thought about writing for before and just asking for the moon. Read the full interview here.
📝 ‘Building a career in business journalism’: Quartz is hosting a seminar on Tuesday, September 28, featuring editors from its organization, The Wall Street Journal and Insider and Emma Carew Grovum, founder of Kimbap Media.
Attendees can expect to “learn about the different kinds of roles people can play in your ‘career community,’ and how those people can help you figure out what steps you need to take as you’re starting your career, from the kind of job you take, to building your skillset, to avoiding burnout.”
💻 ‘A guide to social branding on any newsroom budget’: Adriana Lacy wrote for Reynolds Journalism Institute about how “having a document with all of your visual elements is a great way to ensure your brand’s identity will be maintained, regardless of who’s working on a project.”
Thanks for reading!

🚲 ‘Secrets of The Washington Post Peloton account, revealed!’ Washingtonian published a great Q&A with Ryan Kellett, who just left WaPo, about “one of the publication’s more offbeat social media initiatives.”
🌊 If ‘Avatar’ was about dogs... Harvey, featured on @dog_rates, would be the last Airbender.
