Recommendations: Portfolio platforms
What options are out there for showcasing your journalism?
As a staff journalist it is unlikely you give much thought to your branding. All your articles are likely accessible on your publication’s website, maybe even under your own page. But for freelancers, being able to easily showcase and share our work is vital. Whenever you pitch, the first thing an editor will do is try to find out more about you and look at examples of your work. It helps you build credibility. As much as you may want to run away from any thoughts of self-promotion, you are the brand.
Setting up a website or online portfolio of your work may seem daunting but don’t worry there are a range of options out there. Whether you are a website whizz kid or technophobe, someone willing to curate their own content or an individual happy to hand over the reins to someone else, we have something to suit you.
