ASJA
Can the views we share on social media cost us clients and jobs? The answer is “Yes.”
In January 2017, ten days after the inauguration of Donald Trump, a friend of mine, Lewis Wallace, was fired from his job as a broadcast journalist at American Public Media’s Marketplace. He shared a January 31 blog post on his personal Medium account chronicling his experience. (Editor’s note: An online publishing platform consisting of both amateur and professional writers and outlets, Medium is an example of what is known as social journalism.) In short, Wallace’s superiors said that a previous post, “Objectivity is dead, and I’m okay with it,” was a violation of Marketplace’s ethics code.

Many writers dream of days they can devote entirely to their craft. But the reality is that working a day job in a field often unrelated to writing is sometimes a financial necessity, especially for new and debut authors.
When people learn that I write novels and hold a full-time job, they often ask me, “How?” They struggle to understand the balance of time, but I’ve made it a point to work hard to fulfill my love of both a professional life and my love of a writing life.

From the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents to President Donald Trump’s clashes with the White House press corps, attacks on reporters are in the news. But this problem extends far beyond the politics beat — and world leaders aren’t the only threats.

Bustle
At the beginning of this year, I decided to go freelance. I had been freelance once before, but that was more a case of being unemployed, rather than an active decision on my part. At first, I found it hard to secure work and even harder to summon the strength to get out of bed. But once I had found regular clients, getting up each morning became pain-free. What was now difficult was ensuring I pleased my clients, my friends and family, and myself.
