Jacob Kushner talks freelance

Jacob is a freelance journalist from the United States who works in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, hence his website -www.twonations.com

He talked to our new group of students this morning about his workmethodes and how the big newsorganisations (he works a lot for Associated Press), magazines (like Newsweek) and newspapers work.

Jacob's told them also how tough the bizniz can be - for instance he did not sell anything in the last past 6 weeks. So he now tries to get other magazines interested in his work. A lot of the work of a freelancer is acquisition.
