The Role of Social Media in Modern Lead Generation

[Shishirgano9]

Some mention the “black spot” of freelance preparation in training courses… There is undoubtedly a lack of training on the part of schools regarding preparation for freelancing. The training courses offered are very short and impractical. They are generalities. Concrete content on the problems encountered is sorely lacking: how do you manage a freelance budget? What collective resources are put in place? How to read a pay slip and detect anomalies? Young journalists feel that they would have missed the "toolbox" that would allow them to actually live with this form of remuneration.


Another aspect that often emerges in the discourse of young journalists: freelancing austria telegram is devalued, considered an "inevitable childhood disease". For schools, the model is to work in editorial offices. Being a freelancer would mean being a sub-journalist, a second-rate journalist. The problem lies in the recruitment of trainers: most of them come from editorial offices and import their models. According to the Commission for the Professional Identity Card of Journalists , 66% of journalists aged 30 and under are freelancers or on fixed-term contracts.


With such statuses, insecurity prevails. An insecurity that is all the greater since editorial offices often have organizations that are illegible to freelancers ("why is the volume of freelances suddenly dropping?")... The media should be more transparent with freelancers, provide concrete elements: how do they position themselves in relation to their organization? How could they evolve? There should be support in their career path. The lack of training in middle management remains a major problem: no skills to lead a team, a vague representation of priorities.
