Abstract

In contrast to Rowland’s reasonably optimistic tone, Maggie Brown is much more downbeat in her assessment of the daunting task facing today’s freelance journalists. She talks to a number of formerly well-paid columnists as well some new faces, and concludes that life is tougher than it has ever been for today’s freelances. While there are pockets of well-paid and reasonably secure commissions, most have to battle hard against a rising number of experienced former Fleet Street specialists while having to accept reduced fees, and be fearful even of going on holiday.
