Choose a freelance journalist. For the freelancer, one of the difficulties is knowing and integrating the different editorial lines of the media with which he works. Indeed, for its articles to be received, they must correspond to what the journal editorial research.
To be accepted by an editor, it is necessary to prove this capacity of adaptation. Creating a portfolio of articles already made can be an interesting tool. That said, to begin to "solicit" editors, the best way is to send directly his first ideas of topic: if they are relevant, they will not hesitate long before contacting you. Be careful however: it is important not to say too much about your subjects. If theft of ideas is rare in journalism, it does exist.
It is also necessary to be autonomous and organized. When the freelancer has no subject to write, his only occupation is to find new ones. It is then necessary to proceed with method to browse its sector or its field of predilection.
