Part of the joy of being a freelance journalist is that you get full reign to cover your story the way you want to.
You could, for instance, decide to focus on solutions journalism; rigorous reporting on what works rather than just focusing on the problems.
But then you might run into some questions: how do I pitch these stories to editors? How do I make sure I am not advocating for a cause? Where can I source grant funding?
Not to worry. Freelance journalist Laura Oliver, together with the European Journalism Centre's Freelance Journalism Assembly, covers all you need to know in one downloadable PDF document.
