How freelance journalists are coping in the recession, via Journalism.co.uk

THERE's an interesting piece on Journalism.co.uk today packed with excellent input from the likes of Paul Groves, Louise Bolotin and Guy Clapperton among others.

For some, like Andrea Wren and Lucia Cockcroft, now has been the perfect time to branch out into quite different areas based on other ambitions.

Predictably, others tell of how rates have been cut and jobs are now thinner on the ground. Importantly, they also explain what they have done about it.

• Journalism.co.uk has also published an edited version of my piece from earlier this week with advice for journalists who have been made redundant.
  The original is here. Thank you everyone who has been in touch about it.
