Mr. Rothenberg was able to convey his business side of journalism to us very clearly and intelligently. From him, I understood that money really matters in the media business. His knowledge and expertise of freelancing gave an in-depth and closer look into the world of freelance reporting. One thing he defiantly pushed was the ability to make contacts within the industry. From the very beginning of his chat, Mr. Rothenberg made it clear that creating a portfolio of your work is a great way to get noticed.
As of now, my website located here is a type of portfolio for the next generation of freelance writing. I am very confident that in creating this website, my work is being displayed in an accessible fashion.
What Mr. Rothenberg has done with his career in media is adapt, something that you must do in order to stay alive in this business. When he was faced with different opportunities, he was able to cash in on them with his wide range of talents and knowledge. This is something I aspire to do within my own media universe.
I know that in a business that is ever changing, one must evolve to survive. Just like Darwin said :)
