RE: Hi Steemit! Freelance journalist here - really excited about how this community could fund and produce independent media.
I don't think you can expect any kind of guarantees for payment on here, it's more a matter of the community recognizing the work put in after the fact, and if the economic model of Steemit works as intended, then the stakeholders (whales) will have an incentive to reward high quality original content which I'd assume your type of investigative journalism would fall under.
That said, it couldn't hurt to solicit feedback in advance by asking the community to give their opinions or votes perhaps on what kind of stories they'd be most interested in.
Looking forward to reading your contributions.
Yes indeed - being able to navigate between the need for some kind of payment security, but also respecting and working within the dynamics of the Steemit community, is exactly what I'm hoping to understand. Would love to talk and think more about how voting on stories to cover might work. Thanks for your feedback!
