Last week I had the pleasure of flying to SPJ’s headquarters in Indianapolis to tape five freelance training videos for SPJ members. We covered five topics:  generalization vs. specialization; how to find work; and freelancing as a business (three-part series).

Deb Wenger, former broadcaster, author and journalism professor, was on hand to coach me through my first broadcast experience. During the taping, she took some notes and posted these tips on her Advancing the Story blog. Thanks, Deb, for your support and for following up with this column!
