Zelfstandige journalisten vormen een belangrijke groep binnen het journalistieke vak: een vierde van het totale Vlaamse journalistenbestand is momenteel freelancer. In januari 2008 telde de databank van de Vlaamse Vereniging van Journalisten (VVJ) 674 zelfstandige (stagiair-)beroepsjournalisten, tegenover 2037 loontrekkenden. Freelancejournalistiek is van alle tijden. Veel zelfstandige journalisten zouden geen ander statuut willen. Freelancers hebben overigens de meest schitterende journalistieke producten geleverd. Precies een gevolg, zeggen zij, van hun ongebondenheid. Het neemt niet weg dat freelancejournalistiek tegenwoordig ook heel wat schaduwzijden heeft. Zo hebben veel freelancers niet bepaald een statuut om over naar huis te schrijven. Doorgaans liggen de honoraria voor zowel redactioneel als visueel werk schrijnend laag, en dat terwijl de investeringen en kosten vrij hoog uitvallen. Niet zelden worden zelfstandigen ook opgezadeld met een te zware werkdruk en zeer ondankbare werkomstandigheden. Ook over de behandeling van het geproduceerde werk door eindredacties - en de daarmee samenhangende eindaansprakelijkheid - bestaan nogal wat klachten. Het verloop in de sector is dan ook groot. Met dit handboek wil de VVJ/AVBB in de eerste plaats tegemoet komen aan de informatiebehoefte omtrent freelancen die bij velen - vooral jongeren - bestaat. We wijzen op de valkuilen van het vak en geven praktische tips. Tegelijk willen we met dit werkje redactieverantwoordelijken en directies inspireren. Hen zou het sieren de freelancejournalist met meer respect te behandelen dan ze vandaag doen.

This edited volume discusses multiple job holding as part of Finnish working life. The articles in this book examine this little researched phenomenon through a wide range of empirical data. Based on Statistics Finland's register data, different ways of combining jobs are classified. Interview material sheds light on the conditions for holding multible jobs. A new perspective is provided by the chaos theory of careers.ccording to the results of the study, very different paths lead to becoming a multiple job holder. The combination of jobs is influenced by the life path and interests of the individual, as well as by constraints and opportunities available. Motives can also be linked to professional networks, decisions made by immediate family, coincidences or whims.This book helps to understand the diversity of ways of working. At the same time, it illustrates the challenges faced by those who work multiple jobs as they try to operate within simpler models and categorisations of labour. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the changing nature of work, especially researchers, students and policy-makers. Tässä kokoomateoksessa käsitellään monimuotoista ansiotyötä osana suomalaista työelämää. Teoksen artikkeleissa tätä vähän tutkittua ilmiötä tarkastellaan monipuolisten empiiristen aineistojen kautta. Tilastokeskuksen rekisteriaineiston pohjalta luokitellaan erilaisia tapoja yhdistää työtä. Haastatteluaineistot puolestaan valottavat yhdistelmätyön tekemisen ehtoja. Uudenlaista näkökulmaa edustaa työurien kaaosteoria.Tutkimustulosten mukaan usean työn tekijäksi päädytään hyvin erilaisia polkuja pitkin. Tehtäväyhdistelmien syntyyn vaikuttavat niin ihmisen elämänkulku ja kiinnostuksen kohteet kuin pakot ja tarjolla olevat mahdollisuudet. Motiivit voivat paikantua myös ammatillisiin verkostoihin, lähipiirin tekemiin ratkaisuihin, suoranaisiin sattumiin tai mielijohteisiin.Teos auttaa ymmärtämään monimuotoisia työnteon tapoja. Samalla se kertoo niistä haasteista, joita useaa työtä tekevät kokevat yrittäessään toimia yksinkertaisempiin työnteon malleihin ja kategorisointeihin perustuvissa kehyksissä. Se on tärkeää luettavaa kaikille työn muutoksesta kiinnostuneille, erityisesti alan tutkijoille, opiskelijoille sekä päätöksentekijöille.

This is a sequel to the author’s best-selling A Practical Guide for Translators first published in 1993 and now in its 4th edition. Managing Translation Services looks at how to successfully make the change from being a single freelance translator to developing a translation company offering a range of value added services. The book is intended principally for those who presently work as a freelance translator with all the inherent limitations this presents in terms of income and being reliant on the limited range of skills that the individual can offer. While some business skills will have been accumulated by virtue of working in a commercial environment, the transition from being responsible for oneself and taking the bold step of employing additional resources can be quite daunting. However, the opportunities this offers in terms of income and personal satisfaction are considerable. This book considers the initial Ssteps towards business development, exploiting these opportunities and the rewards they can offer. Advice is given on setting up a translation business, organisational development, what a business plan needs to consider for successful growth, how quality management needs to be approached, managing human resources, customer relations and other topics. The book provides a wealth of ready-made examples of quality procedures, forms that support business management and sources of further information. It also considers an exit strategy and related long-term planning when disposing of the business. Managing Translation Services is based on the many years of experience gained by the author working as a staff translator, freelance translator, university lecturer in translation studies, and former head of an award-winning, ISO 9001 accredited company. As a result, it covers a range of management issues relating to providing professional translation services.

The late nineteenth century was a propitious time for British composers. But while the demand from music publishers for their works grew substantially, the copyright and royalty terms were such that even successful composers could not achieve the levels of earnings enjoyed by other creative artists such as authors, painters and dramatists. However, in the early twentieth century, new sources of earnings emerged, notably performing fees, broadcasting fees and royalties from record sales. Unlike other leading contemporary British composers, who also held prestigious, salaried positions, Elgar was, by his own volition, a freelance composer who relied entirely on the precarious earnings from his works, supplemented by conducting fees and a brief tenure at Birmingham University. As a result, although Elgar achieved fame, status and recognition in his lifetime, both nationally and internationally, his earnings did not match the standard of living to which he aspired. This lack of money, exacerbated by too much expenditure, was a constant source of worry, complaint and frustration to Elgar, even though he had become a beneficiary from the new sources of income in the twentieth century. Elgar's Earnings investigates whether Elgar's complaints about a lack of money can be justified by the facts. Drawing on hitherto neglected primary sources, especially the Novello Business Archive, John Drysdale examines the relatively poor terms offered by music publishers to composers of serious music in general and Elgar in particular and explores the reasons why successful painters and authors, such as G. B. Shaw, could obtain much better terms. This comparative analysis enriches our understanding of the economic and social forces at work in nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain and shows how Elgar, despite his insecure financial position, helped to establish the profession of the English composer, to the lasting benefit of future generations. JOHN DRYSDALE is a musicologist and former investment banker.
