Operate
as a Small Business.
April
16th Meeting, Noon till 1 p.m.

Why have we
invited you to our meting?
The
journalism industry has been hit hard by the economy. Newspapers,
magazines, broadcast stations, photographers, designers, each have felt
the effects of low advertising dollars, smaller spending budgets and
layoffs. Many laid-off journalists have decided to venture out on their
own. They are working as freelance journalists, starting small
production companies, or are maintaining blogs to keep their skills up
to speed. Essentially, these journalists are operating as small
businesses.
