Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: #ICTalks: A Conversation With Rafael Espinal. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
The landscape of freelance journalism in America and around the world is changing. In collaboration with the SPJ Freelance Community, we have the President and Executive Director of the Freelancers Union, Rafael Espinal.
The landscape of the gig economy in America took a turn after the controversial bill in California (AB-5) was signed into law, leading other states to follow suit. Now the PROact is on the table in Congress. With the economy struggling during the pandemic, journalists and writers are being hit hard with these new laws, which make it harder to classify as an independent worker.
In April it was reported by the New York Times that 36,000 workers at news outlets were laid off, furloughed, or had a reduction in their position because of the pandemic. But for freelance journalists, many livelihoods were lost overnight. Besides a reduction in business related to COVID-19, AB5 in California also caused freelancers to lose jobs. . According to a survey by the Freelancers Union in March and April, 80% of respondents who self-identified as journalists had lost employment by the end of April, whether it was from the cancelation of pending contracts or in-progress work being halted. Compare that to the 67% reported having lost work just a month prior. According to 51% of the journalists who responded to the survey in April, they lost more than $5,000 in income since the COVID-19 crisis began.
In our one-on-one conversation on August 25th, we will discuss the challenges and the changes taking place in the freelance industry in the US and around the world. This session will also give journalists around the world a better understanding of what the Freelance Union is about and how it might help them.
For the next
#ICTalks at 6 p.m. EDT Tuesday, @SPJ_IC will discuss the history of VOA, the threats to its editorial independence and the attacks against independent journalism around the world with former Director of VOA @SanfordUngar:

Join the International Community of the Society of Professional Journalists as we talk with Sanford J. Ungar, the 24th Voice of America director having served from 1999 to 2001. The Voice of America has a long history of honest and fair journalism. This tradition has often put it at odds with the political leadership in the U.S. government, the owner of VOA. However, never before has the VOA faced a threat to its editorial independence as it has this year. We will be digging deeper with Ungar about the attacks against independent journalism in America and around the world. Ungar is currently the Director of the Free Speech Project at Georgetown University in Washington, DC (www.freespeechproject.georgetown.edu). He is also president emeritus of Goucher College, former NPR host, Washington Post reporter and author of a number of books including “Fresh Blood: The New American Immigrants “ and “Africa: The People and Politics of an Emerging Continent.”

It is not uncommon to see journalists enter dangerous or risky situations for the sake of informing the public. Given today's crisis and demands for factual information, journalists need to evaluate what is essential and what is not. The challenge remains for reporters covering this story to find new ways to do their work while staying safe, especially photographers. Join the International Community of the Society of Professional Journalists as we talk about this with Chris Livesay, CBS News foreign correspondent based in Rome, contributing to all CBS News broadcasts and platforms. We will dig deeper into his journalistic work in our one-on-one conversation.
