We just love to meet freelancers who have managed to combine different types of writing into a successful career. This week, Rachel and Lynne chat with Caroline Riches, a news journalist for 25 years who works in the SBS newsroom part time and then does freelance writing work for the rest of the week. We talk about:

  • Balancing the two roles
  • Why she loves the flexibility of casual work
  • What newsrooms are looking for from casual journalists and how to get a foot in the door
  • The stress of covering big news stories
  • How great it is to be part of a newsroom and being surrounded by the big news stories of the day
  • Where and how she secures agency work
