Full-time isn’t the only path. Discover how freelancers succeed in media & when to take the leap.
About this Event

While landing a full-time job is the primary goal for many early-career professionals, freelance work can be an equally viable and fulfilling pathway—particularly for careers in media. Hear from independent contractors and other freelance media workers about the risks and advantages of self-employment and how to know when you’re ready to go it alone.

Rafael Espinal, Executive Director, Freelancers Union

Tim Herrera, Editor, Freelancing with Tim

Moderator: Syreeta Gates, Archivist & Founder, Most Incredible Studio

Presented with the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and BRIC Arts Media


This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
