Freelancing in Latin America
featuring Seth Kugel (The New York Times’ current Frugal Traveler),
Juan Manuel Robles (Peruvian magazine writer and editor), and the J-School’s own Sandro Mairata, Manuel Rueda, and Camilo Smith
Do you dream of traveling through Latin America as a freelance journalist? Don’t know where to start? Current J-School students and freelance veterans SANDRO MAIRATA (has written for Peruvian and international magazines), MANUEL RUEDA (has broad experience in radio broadcast working from Colombia) and CAMILO SMITH (has extensively covered Mexican hip hop for print and his own online venture) will give practical tips and talk about pitching and selling their work to US outlets.
The students will share a panel with two young and distinguished journalists who will also tell it like it is: JUAN MANUEL ROBLES, a magazine writer and editor from Lima who is pursuing a creative writing degree at NYU, and SETH KUGEL, longtime freelancer for The New York Times and GlobalPost, among others, who is currently traveling all over the Americas on a budget as the Times’ new daring Frugal Traveler.
