Hard times for investigative freelancers

A new survey of 250 freelancers around the world by an organization called Project Word is bad news for freelancers who do investigative reporting, David Uberti writes: "Eighty-one percent of respondents said they abandoned 'otherwise viable and important public-interest reports' due to resource constraints over the past half-decade. These pieces, totaling between 560 to 1,150 stories, ranged from reports on Pentagon-provided healthcare to global reproductive rights."
