SPJ freelancer directory
Many of you know about SPJ's freelancer directory, which puts freelancers' information and work samples at the fingertips of editors. Today members who are part of the directory are getting the following message in their e-mails. I wanted to make the message available to those who are not members or who may not be aware of the service. Hope everyone is having a great day. If someone told you that you could have unprecedented access
to the world’s top editors and news directors, would you believe them? Thanks
to the Society of Professional Journalists’ freelancer directory, this isn’t a
far-fetched idea.
SPJ’s freelancer directory can put your work at the
fingertips of the country’s top editors and news directors. The directory
enables independent journalists, who are members of the Society, to post
information and links to work samples online for free. This same list is viewable
by editors and news directors from around the world. They can search by state,
specialty or both. All you have to do is post your best work and wait for the
calls to come.
To help ensure these decision makers are aware of your work,
SPJ will send out regular announcements to more than 5,000 editors and news
directors, explaining the benefits of using our directory.
