I shuddered this morning, reading the headline from The Daily Mirror: Robot journalists to start writing news and sports stories for Britain and Ireland's national news agency. When I earned my journalism degree in the late '80s, the idea of job obsolescence wasn't even a neutrino blip on my radar. I've done my time on both sides of the desk — as a writer and a publicist. This will be no news flash for all of you grizzled journalists out there tired of being the target of public distrust, or mentally exhausted by 20-something editors justifying their paychecks. The time has come for us to reinvent ourselves. Again.

When I first started off as a freelancer, I scoffed at the idea of settling down and writing on only one subject. I’m not going to be monogamous in my writing, I thought to myself. There are too many things I want to write about. So, like any good, fresh solopreneur, I played the field. I wrote about topics I was interested in. I wrote about topics I wasn’t interested in. I wrote and I wrote and over time, I built myself a diverse — albeit eclectic — portfolio.
However, as time went on, I got pickier about the freelance writing work I’d pick up and the rate of pay I would accept.

A few hours before the second 2016 presidential debate, the Washington Post’s fact-checker Glenn Kessler published a guide to allegations of sexual misconduct that he thought Donald Trump might make against Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The guide covered confirmed consensual affairs and alleged unwanted sexual encounters women had with Bill Clinton. Kessler also examined claims about the ways Hillary Clinton responded to some of the allegations against her husband.

Maybe you became a freelancer because you wanted to set your own schedule, leave the monotony of nine-to-five, and even work from the beach now and then. Freelancing can be a great lifestyle, but one of the hardest things about being a freelancer is there’s no one around to tell you if you’re doing things right.

A very familiar story is unfolding beneath us.
Consumer behavior changed over the past 20 years, as audiences shifted from traditional media to digital media. The industry experienced massive growth, but the revenue for publishers did not grow at the same time. It fell. Massively.
A lot of publishers, or at least their revenue streams, "fell" through this gap on the jump from print to digital. And now, there is another jump publishers face. This time, it's within digital and it is the jump from desktop to mobile.
