Freelancing tips and resources for student visual journalists

Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.

📝 ‘What’s your rubric?’ Anna Maltby asked other freelancers on Twitter what their “must-haves” are for working with clients. A helpful thread emerged with tips ranging from finding clients that respect personal boundaries, editors who are easy to get along with, gigs that pay quickly and more.

Anna Maltby @amalt

When I assess a freelance opp, I have three must-haves: ✅ aligns with my ethics ✅ pays well ✅ sounds enjoyable and low-drama What's not on the list? ❌ prestigious It's a nice-to-have! But not a must. And without any of the first three, it's meaningless. What's your rubric?

📷 Opportunities for student visual journalists: Taylor Blatchford, in The Lead newsletter on Poynter, shared lists of resources for student visual journalists, including organizations they can join, mentorship opportunities, scholarships and fellowships, workshops and more.

💻 ‘An introduction to the basics of being a freelancer’: Tim Herrera announced in his Freelancing with Tim newsletter that he’s hosting several virtual panels this month that range from free to $15.

One session — on May 22 at 3 p.m. ET — will “cover all the basics of being an independent journalist, including invoicing, negotiating contracts, finding work, building relationships with editors, writing strong first drafts and more.”

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me recently:

• 🎵 ‘From the Redwood forest’: Got to visit family in the greater Bay Area recently and saw some very old, very cool trees.

• 🤤 Quickly becoming a Jeni’s fangirl: It’s been a bit since I got my hands on some Jeni’s ice cream, but I highly recommend the salty caramel, especially if you mix it with the darkest chocolate.
