Comments on: Where Did All the Staff Reporters Go? http://www.carltonprmarketing.com/public-relations/where-did-all-the-staff-reporters-go Integrated Public Relations, Marketing and Social Media Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:33:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Adam Pieniazek http://www.carltonprmarketing.com/public-relations/where-did-all-the-staff-reporters-go/comment-page-1#comment-153 Adam Pieniazek Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:26:33 +0000 http://www.carltonprmarketing.com/?p=580#comment-153 I'm a big believer that we're seeing a paradigm shift from a large number of people being directly employed by massive corporations to a lot of people starting their own smaller firms and/or freelancing. You can count me in that group, I freelance and own a small firm and much prefer it to working a 9 to 5 in a big corporate cubicle. The freedom freelancing gives people is something I think a lot of people are becoming interested in. And for the client hiring the freelancer, it gives them freedom too, to drop the freelancer and find another. In the news business, it's the stories that count. Whether it's a freelancer or staff writer publishing that story matters little to the reader. Relying on freelancers turns the Globe into a dynamic fast acting machine rather than a stagnant mammoth beast.
