Last week I got to spend some virtual time with students at Clark Atlanta University, an HBCU in Georgia. The young journalists I spoke with were especially keen on getting advice about pitching freelance stories to editors, which interested me because it seems like freelancing in general is such a hot topic in journalism right now.That’s why I reached out to Jacquie Marino, a professor at Kent State and a featured presenter at this year’s Teachapalooza. This semester, she taught an entire course on becoming a freelance journalist, and has written for Poynter about the topic.
