Founder, Displaced Journalists
Many of you have written to say you would like to get to know one another. With 685 (and counting) members on our Displaced Journalists Facebook page, that’s not easy.
I commend those of you who’ve written about yourselves: Melanie Kolden, Mark Mayfield, Britt Conley, Jules Older (no relation), and Geveryl Robinson. That’s a good start. After all, this is a community for sharing and brainstorming. It makes sense to know who’s who.
Do you have a commentary piece that might help displaced journalists get back on track? If you’re employed, give us your advice. If you’re “displaced,” we’d like to hear your ideas and your personal story: How are you coping in terms of ego and finances? Do you have a strategy to share for making money as a freelancer or blogger? Have you started a new career or found a way to boost your tech skills so you can get back in the game? Are you hoping to start a new venture and need partners? Use the form below to send me a pitch or a finished story and photo.
Or you may email me directly at susan@displacedjournalists.com.

Welcome to Our Community
Is there life – or work – after newspapers? A lot of us are in the process of finding out. Because it’s generally a somewhat lonely endeavor, it struck me, in January 2010, that it might be comforting – and possibly very productive – to go through it together.
Displaced Journalists is a community – our community – where we find common ground, where we can begin to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and get on with our lives and livelihoods. [more]
