Thrive, or die? You have a choice, and it’s real.
Decide now, because as publications fold, writers are left out in the cold, clutching their laptops and wondering where to go.
The death warrants of traditional newspapers and magazines were issued at least a decade ago. Savvy writers saw it coming and made their own arrangements.
If you’re a new freelance writer, and want to write for traditional publications, realize now that you’re booking a ticket on the Titanic if you choose that route.
You need to educate yourself on how the Web works for writers, and build your own career. Here’s the good news: you CAN do it. Build your own brand as a writer, and create your own destiny.
As Can the Statusphere Save Journalism? says:
“The socialization of the Web has given way to the era of personal brands. We are all now responsible for the creation, direction, perception, and management of our online personas, reinforced by what we share and how we interact across The Conversation Prism. This is incredibly poignant for journalists as they not only need to maintain a watchful eye on their media employer but also now compete against a new generation of bloggers and content producers who do not abide by or embody the classical rules and training of journalism. “
Choose. Thrive… or die?
