What Does It Take To Be A Photojournalist?

I was recently asked about what it takes to become a photojournalist by Side Hustles.

While I don’t think of photojournalism as a “side hustle,” it certainly could be one, especially with the shrinking newspaper industry. Many pictures that were taken by one-time staff photographers are now taken by freelancers.

People often think of freelancers as someone waiting for a full-time job. But that is often not the case. Many freelancers thrive and the good ones, who know how to hustle, make more than people with staff positions.

But there are some secrets to success and much-needed skills.

Here is the link to the interview that www.sidehustles.com recently did with me about what it takes to be a photojournalist. https://sidehustles.com/how-to-become-a-photojournalist/ 

This is me as a young photojournalist and mother.
