Definition

  • Freelancing for media outlets—working on a short-term, temporary, or contract basis rather than as a salaried staff employee—used to be seen as a tenuous but promising route to full-time employment in journalism. By the early twenty-first century, that was no longer the case. [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; Freelance Writers and Stringers]
