It's been two years since I took on the heavy mantle of being a freelance journalist. Would you be interested in a thread on advice/lessons learned?

If no, you may want to mute this thread!
Before I begin, here's a thread I wrote about my thoughts on being a journalist, freelance and otherwise.

A little background: I've journalist for 11 years, English is my first language, I've always been a voracious reader, and I had a good education (a masters degree).

I know I come from privilege so my suggestions will be subjective to my experience. Please understand that.

I've been agonising about whether to come out and name this person. I wanted be very sure I could handle the reactions that will come my way. I think I am now ready.
This is my story about CP Surendran, and how DNA ruined due process for me.
My SH complaint was against CP, who was then Executive Editor of DNA. I was a member of the features team. At the outset I want to mention, he didn't physically harass me but he did it to many others around me (I've been witness)+ he made the most sexist and misogynist comments.
Some examples: he used to take special interest in attending Sunday features team (we were all girls, one male reporter and our de fact editor was a woman) meetings asking us to think of ideas like 'the weirdest places people have had sex'.

I have a story of hope and upliftment

Yesterday while on my way home, I noticed many people at the popular "gate" bus stop in Ibadan were trying to get access to transport through their phones.

O-ride Street, the only motorcycle hailing startup in Ibadan has changed
how several people access and use transportation. Eventually I wasn't able to get an O-ride bike (because it was raining and I'm sure demand was overwhelming), nevertheless I was intrigued.

I saw several dissatisfied comments online (which I also contributed to) about O-pay
O-pay is the owner of O-ride and the app that encapsulates ride hailing among several other services.

This morning on my way out, I decided to take another O-ride bike and also ask questions.

I met "wasiu" (not his real name) and asked him about his experience as an O-ride

Its clear that #Pakistan plans a massive insurgency campaign on steroids against #India that would be backed by the military. India's response should be to retaliate with even greater force so that Pak has to pay an unbearable price for each of its actions.
Such situation would be close to full out war in the Kashmir region and can easily escalate into a full war.
#Pakistan is actually playing into #India's game. Pak's insurgency & supportive military actions will show Pak as the aggressor and India's retake of Pak occupied Kashmir in retaliation for such actions will be totally accepted. India already gamed the whole scenario.

Good evening America! #Thread on the issues with ibuprofen & generic drugs in the U.S. (long)
Earlier this afternoon, we dropped a thread on the above topic that was very industry centric. Tonight we are going back through that thread and break it down for everyone.
This thread started with this opinion piece on foreign Pharma factories and what happens in them. nyti.ms/2Jihy9P The opinion piece is equal parts truth, common industry knowledge and a hard sell on the book.

Tensions are running high between the two nuclear powers #India and #Pakistan. Here is a thread running down their nuclear capabilities.
#India has 120-140 nuclear warheads with yields demonstrated as high as 60kt. They have all three delivery type systems, Land, Sea, and Air with ranges well within #Pakistan.
#India employs a National Command Authority with collective deliberation on the use of nuclear weapons. It is unknown if there is pre-delegation. India is a no-first-use policy state.

Let me show you how to increase your sales.

Powered by #SideHustleWithAbbey
It’s no more doubt every business has gotta get online and maximize the traffic that exists on the internet, but the truth is...

So many businesses are still finding it difficult harnessing the online presence.

Now, it’s not by merely putting your business on social media or
..having a fanpage, yes those are good BUT are not better let alone best.

So what are these strategies????

Simple! I’m going to make this very short and concise - straight to the point.

I’m going to be using example of one business I love the way the owner is pushing...
