It is time to ditch the scrapbook and move your portfolio online - here is how
If you are starting a career in journalism, it goes without saying that you should be building up a portfolio of your work. But with more and more content being posted online, it is time to ditch the paper cuttings and showcase your work on a website of your own.
Creating a website can be a daunting prospect, but it does not have to be, and it does not have to cost you a fortune either!
Jack Dearlove from JournoResources has some great tips to set you on the right track for the least money possible.

"It allows you to showcase your best work while cutting out the mundane bits of Twitter, especially if you published them a while ago. Oh, and the good news is, they're easier to build than ever."
