Due to the drastic restructuring of a number of large media houses, more and more journalists will be forced to work as freelancers. Especially for those who have been employed for decades, this is a major challenge that they face completely new ones Tasks and problems: Where can I get support with the Business start? How do I set myself up? Office and how do I organize myself? who should mine Customer become, and how do I speak to him? What am I allowed to do? what do i have to do What can I?

The DJV Hamburg meets the freelance colleagues, whether they are new to the market or have been with them for a long time Success in addition to the established offers with a series of practical further training events as a strong and competent partner. This year's network day is the prelude to this.

From the individual to the collaborative journalist

Blogging and social media can optimally support journalistic work from research to publication. The seminar will show how journalists can use social media tools and blogs efficiently for their work. Journalists are no longer the lone fighters who compile exhaustive research hot information and then publish media effective.

The profession has changed. Working together, collaborative journalism and crowdsourcing are the magic words. When researching, the reader is involved, as is writing. And after the publication, the text is not finished, but is discussed further.

In my Lecture is about the topic "Commercial blogging - where are the opportunities, where are the limits?" Here you will find the slides with all the important information.
