Abstract

In the era of digitalization and pandemic, freelancing is becoming an increasingly common lifestyle and way of earning money. At the same time, journalism is one of the most popular professions for freelance work. In the following, we analyzed the history of the beginning of the career and professional development of 204 freelance journalists in order to compile a socio­demographic portrait of the average freelance journalist in modern Russia. The results obtained in the course of the research can be useful for the subsequent regulation of this sphere at the level of the state and media editorial offices: this process is already beginning and will inevitably continue due to the rapid popularization of remote work and freelancing. However, for successful development of media freelancing, the question should be answered: who is a modern media freelancer?
