NYT this morning: McClatchy reporters are withholding bylines in a dispute over AI-generated content. That's a strike. A small one. But it's the first real labor action of the AI content era — and the smallest gesture says the most.A byline isn't credit. It's accountability. The reporters aren't anti-AI. They're refusing to put their signature on output they didn't produce.

Send us a textIf you've ever sent a proposal and never heard back, you're not alone. In this episode, we break down a real (but anonymized) proposal template to help you understand what might be going wrong and how to fix it.You'll learn how to use your discovery calls effectively, avoid vague language, and present a clear, compelling next step that leads to signed contracts—not silence.This episode is ideal for freelance writers, agencies, and service providers looking to improve their client proposal process.Key Takeaways:1. Most Ghosted Proposals Aren't Actually Your FaultThe majority of ghosting happens because of internal client issues, not your offer. Keep pitching consistently—it's a numbers game.2. Make the Proposal About Them, Not YouThe best proposals reflect the client's own words and goals. Use language from your discovery calls to show you're aligned with their needs.3. Keep the Proposal Short and Easy to ShareProposals are often presented in 15-minute internal meetings. Use a concise, 5-slide proposal template that highlights only what matters most.4. What to Include in a Client Proposal TemplateCredibility Statement (e.g., “Write RN – trusted healthcare content from nurse writers”)Client's Goals stated clearly using their own phrasingDeliverables (e.g., four 800–1,000 word SEO-optimized articles)Bylines and Author Credentials to improve SEO and authorityProject Timeline and Process (e.g., 10 business days for draft delivery)Next Steps (contract, onboarding form, optional kickoff call)5. The Proposal is a Follow-Up, Not a First ImpressionIf the discovery call went well, the proposal simply confirms what was discussed. Welcome to the Savvy Scribe Podcast, I'm so glad you're here!

L'atelier des médias reçoit le journaliste et documentariste franco-afghan Mortaza Behboudi, qui vient de publier Fixers: Reporters without Bylines, un livre qui raconte son quotidien de fixeur, ces locaux qui accompagnent les journalistes internationaux, parfois dans des pays en guerre. Dans cette conversation de plus de trente minutes, Mortaza Behboudi aborde le rôle méconnu et périlleux des fixeurs. Il publie Fixers: Reporters without Bylines (PICT Books), un livre cosigné avec l'Ukrainienne Oksana Leuta qui expose cette réalité. Un fixeur est celui qui accompagne les journalistes étrangers sur des terrains complexes, servant de pont entre la population locale et la presse étrangère. Ils facilitent le travail (traduction, logistique, contacts) de reportage. Mortaza Behboudi résume avec ironie : « J'ai l'impression faire du babysitting des journalistes étrangers en Afghanistan. » Beaucoup de fixeurs afghans sont des journalistes locaux ayant perdu leur emploi, notamment depuis la chute de Kaboul, rappelle-t-il. Le livre, écrit en anglais, met en lumière le manque crucial de reconnaissance et de protection des fixeurs. Ce métier « hyper dangereux et essentiel » est trop souvent exercé sans contrat ni assurance et payé « au black », explique Mortaza Behboudi, qui dénonce la minimalisation du rôle des fixeurs, souvent réduit à celui de simple traducteur une fois la mission terminée. Le risque sécuritaire est omniprésent : les fixeurs sont souvent accusés d'espionnage, comme ce fut le cas de Mortaza en 2023, lorsqu'il a été arrêté par les talibans puis a passé 9 mois en prison. Aussi, Mortaza préfère parfois « réécrire les questions, adoucir les questions » des journalistes occidentaux afin de ne pas se mettre en danger. Mortaza Behboudi appelle les médias à la sensibilisation. Il insiste pour que les fixeurs obtiennent des contrats et soient cités, car « sans les fixeurs, il y aura aucun reportage » Mortaza Behboudi interviendra le samedi 15 novembre à l'événement Informer le monde de demain organisé pour les 40 ans de Reporters sans frontières (RSF), à la Gaîté lyrique.
In today's episode Ben Thompson is joined by Shaina Steinberg to tell the story of Martha Gellhorn, the trailblazing war correspondent who smuggled herself into war zones, broke every rule that needed breaking, and filed some of the most powerful eyewitness accounts of the 20th century. From the Spanish Civil War to D-Day to the jungles of Vietnam, Gellhorn refused to stay home, refused to stay silent, and refused to be known for anything other than her own words. This is the story of the woman who saw history being made—and made damn sure the world saw it too.
In this co-host takeover, Joe Truzman and David Daoud cut through the very loud noises emanating from Beirut and Gaza — from Israel's controversial killing of an Al Jazeera reporter it accused of Hamas ties to Lebanon's unprecedented and ambitious push to disarm Hezbollah.
Send us a textWhat happens when you tell your academic advisor you "just want to travel the world and get paid for it"? For Skye Sherman, it launched a successful career as a travel writer and journalist whose bylines appear in Travel + Leisure, Southern Living, US News and World Report and Palm Beach Illustrated.In this fascinating conversation, Skye reveals how she transformed from an undeclared college major to a respected voice in travel journalism. Rather than following a traditional career path, she created her own way forward, initially thinking she wanted to be a travel influencer before discovering her true passion for writing for established publications. "I've been making it up as I go," she admits, yet her approach has clearly worked.Today, Skye has cultivated relationships with editors who regularly assign her stories while still pitching her own ideas. She writes Palm Beach Illustrated's "New and Now" section, contributes Florida and cruise content to major travel publications, and occasionally takes on lucrative content marketing projects. All while pursuing her ambitious personal goal of visiting every country in the world by age 60 (she's currently at about 51 countries).We dive into Skye's organizational strategies (she's "obsessively organized" with a non-negotiable inbox zero policy), her advice for PR professionals (pitch in the exact style of headlines she already writes), and her surprising background as a pilot who earned her license at 18. She also shares memorable destinations, including Michigan's car-free Mackinac Island and her recent sailing adventure through the British Virgin Islands.For aspiring travel writers, Skye offers candid advice based on her own journey, including what she might have done differently. This conversation provides a rare glimpse into the life of a successful travel journalist and shows how passion, persistence and organization can build a career that spans the globe.Connect with Skye at Skye@SkyeSherman.com; IG: @skyesherman; FB: Skye Sherman and LinkedIn.

Scott also shares his contributions to several baseball books, his appreciation for the pace and nuance of the game, and why he believes keeping score is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a fan.Find Baseball Bucket List Online:Twitter: @BaseballBucketFacebook: @BaseballBucketListInstagram: @Baseball.Bucket.ListWebsite: baseballbucketlist.comThis podcast is part of the Curved Brim Media Network:Twitter: @CurvedBrimWebsite: curvedbrimmedia.com
