Portrait photographer Steve Schulman will once again be shooting headshots at this year’s NYC Conference on Friday and Saturday. Steve is known for his engaging, relaxed style, quickly making writers feel comfortable and look their finest. Headshots can be used for book jackets, articles, social media, LinkedIn, and all other professional needs.
Steve Schulman’s special package includes: a brief consultation with an expertly crafted 20-minute shoot — with original images ready to download onto your computer. All this for ONLY $195! That’s over 75 percent off his private studio rate.
ADVANCE SCHEDULING STRONGLY SUGGESTED! Before the conference, schedule your shoot by reaching out to steveschulmanphotography@gmail.com. Sessions available on a first-come, first-served basis so don’t miss this opportunity. Make your appointment now! Accepts cash, personal checks, venmo, and credit cards (with 3% service charge).
ASJA
While the precise origins of ASJA are shrouded in the mists of time, back in 1948 the switch from fiction to primarily nonfiction in magazines propelled the organization of what was originally called the Society of Magazine Writers. The camaraderie, unity and sense of support and finding one’s tribe has remained unchanged throughout the decades as have, unfortunately, article rates, some of which have actually dropped. In the 1950s “Today’s Woman paid $750, ‘sometimes higher’ for a story that ‘people will talk about,’” wrote anthology editor Susan Tyler Hitchcock, in the introduction. “Nation’s Business paid $500 to $1,000 for a feature. Time paid $1,000 for a profile….” Cringe.

Columbia Journalism Review
Journalists overestimate how much Americans know and care about journalism. The general public doesn’t care as much about press freedom and the First Amendment as we hope. They don’t know as much about the basic principles of journalism as we assume. And they sure as hell don’t trust journalism as much as we would like.

The Center for Media Engagement
Women journalists face the threat of online harassment as they do their jobs of trying to engage with their audience over social media. This harassment can be different from what male journalists face because it can target women based on their gender or sexuality. This harassment — vitriolic sexist attacks or inappropriately sexual barbs — mirrors the experiences of many women in general online.
