Is indie journalism right for me? An interactive session for recently laid off journalists
THIS EVENT IS A GATHERING FOR RECENTLY LAID OFF JOURNALISTS AND CURRENT CREATOR JOURNALISTS/WORKER-OWNERS OF NEWSROOMS.
Is indie journalism right for me? Let's talk about it.
If you've been recently laid off, you're probably wondering if it's time to go independent. Whether you're looking at starting a paid newsletter, a YouTube channel or pulling together a worker-owned collective, there's a few things to consider before diving in.
