Inspired by @cnqmdi and other fellow members of @studyhallxyz, I'm sharing my freelance reporting year in review, with notes about what I earned. Here's to more money transparency in journalism!
I did some quick math, and my freelance reported stories in 2018 earned me an average of 30 cents/word, median 27 cents/word. I wasn't able to hit $1/word on any of my stories.
