From financial hardship to threats to their safety, freelance journalists are facing many personal and professional challenges.
To highlight these challenges and freelancers’ vital work, the European Journalism Centre (EJC) launched the Freelance journalism in Europe survey. The data will be used to design new initiatives to support and protect freelance journalism and facilitate collaborative solutions that can positively impact the freelance journalism ecosystem.
The results will be published in June 2022 and we will cover them on Journalism.co.uk.
All freelance journalists in Europe can participate and the survey is available in English, French and Spanish. Participants can also win useful rewards, including a flight and accommodation to attend the International Journalism Festival in Perugia.
The survey is open until 23 March 2022, 23:59 CET.
