This is a call to all writers, journalists and consumers of news
We believe that when you feel strongly about something, you should write about it. You should share something with others. There is a great opportunity for people who share a good relationship with the pen or the laptop. This July, BeyondMedia is giving writers and all those within the field of expressing themselves through words or imparting knowledge through written publications the opportunity to improve, network and find employment. We know that you are either someone who would appreciate this or someone who knows someone who would. The world gave you your gift, this is your time to use it.

HOW TO ACCESS FREELANCE WORK IN AFRICA
On 13 July 2021, freelance journalists from all across the Africa will come together in the BeyondMedia Freelance conference to gain new skills, create meaningful connections and celebrate the power of the community to make a difference.
In a current and post COVID future, the freelancing community has proven, time and again, its ability to be a valuable resource to newsrooms, clients and small businesses.
“BeyondMedia aims to solidify our position in becoming Africa’s #1 freelance recruitment agency that solves the employment, economic and health problems of today.” says the founder, Zola Brunner.
We are sending an invitation to all freelancers, journalists and consumers of your news to join this event that is much needed as a means to repair and reshape the new world of working opportunities. The continent needs to rejuvenate its economy and freelancers are a gateway to this.
Register and learn about:
Reaching out to clients (Panel led by leading agencies across Africa)
Determining your rate (panel discussion with SAFREA – South Africa Freelance Association)
Establishing contracts with clients (Advice from established law firms)

“Our reasoning to launch and host an Africa-wide conference is quite simple” says Zola.
- We are invested in providing working opportunities for employees that find themselves without work stability.
- We are invested in alleviating the stress for current businesses to retain permanent staff.
- We are invested in the business of people, whether you have been a freelancer for 6 years or have never considered it before today.
- We are invested in utilising the opportunities to be productive and work from home.
- We are invested in the belief that there is a rainbow after this rainstorm that is COVID-19.
