FAQs

Start by explaining the main goal of your project. Share the topics you need covered and the length of the articles you want. Be clear about deadlines and when you need everything finished. This helps the journalist understand what you're looking for and if they’re a good fit.
Share details about who will read the articles. Are they young people or older adults? Do they live in certain places, like London or Manchester? Knowing the audience helps the journalist write in a way that’s interesting for them.
First, discuss what you need: articles, interviews, or reports. Decide on how many pieces you'll get and when. Write everything down so you both know what to expect. This makes sure everyone starts on the same page.
Ask to see articles they’ve written before. Look for writing that’s like the style you need, maybe storytelling or news. Check if they’ve written about topics similar to your project. This helps you see if they are the right fit.
Setting a timeline is very important. It tells the journalist when they need to start and finish their work. The timeline should include deadlines for drafts and the final pieces. This helps the project move smoothly and stay on track.
Explain how you want the articles to sound. Should they be serious or funny? Formal or casual? If the articles are for people in England, you might want a friendly tone. Clear guidelines help the journalist match your style.
Share your ideas and what you hope to achieve with the project. Explain if there’s a message or feeling you want to convey. Discuss any themes or key points that should be included. This ensures the journalist understands your vision.
Talk about how many changes can be made to the articles. Be clear about how and when to give feedback. Agree on what happens if there are edits needed after the final draft. This makes sure both sides know what to expect.
Tell the journalist if they need to research or find information. Explain if you want them to use certain sources, like books or websites. If the topic involves something specific to the UK, like English history, mention that too. Clear instructions help the journalist know what’s needed.
Be available to answer their questions. Share any resources or contacts that might help them. Check in regularly to see if they need anything. Supporting them helps the project go well and shows you care about their work.
