Hi Stefania,

I'm loving your blog.
Just started following you as I'm moving to Canada for a year and trying to familirise myself with Canada's fashion world.

I'm an aspiring fashion stylist hoping to reside in either Vancouver/toronto? wherever fashion takes me.

just wondering if you' have any advice for me for when I get there?
Like where to pull clothes, fashion jobs, best places to live etc. I like to be
prepared. I'd really appreciate any advice.

Hope you can help! Thank you.

my email is eimearo-reilly@live.ie

Thanks Danielle, I think about you, and a conversation we had about freelancing and monetizing blogs before you left, quite often. For me, I believe it's more than just TV it's media as a whole. Content must be paid for! And there must be a standardized rate. Because $50 a post for online is hardly payment either, but a quarter of an olive branch.

In other news, you coming home?

Great post !! Broadcasters should be ashamed!! Getting free content and posting multi millions in profits is inexcusable..... How can new content be created when those that are providing it can't pay the rent. In a business that depends on fresh, current content in a timely manner, it just doesn't make business sense to starve out your sources....... You get what you pay for... Use the Social Media and target the schools and those young people who are duped into thinking that providing free content will land them a job!!

Great post Stefania. I'd been getting the sense for a while that TV hasn't been doing so hot. The division of attention is bad news for mass media. If FT was sourcing free content from bloggers, it indicates that FT was the middle-woman... and intermediaries have less reason to exist than ever. Follow the money to the source, be scrappy and gutsy, we're all individual CHUMs now.

Absolutely agree! But, it's the "getting everyone on board" part that is killing us. It's like constantly working amongst scabs, except we're not part of a union and don't have dental care.
I strongly believe that Universities and Colleges give students a false sense of hope. There are no jobs. And they are being groomed for these "invented jobs" and then they are schooled to do work for free to build their portfolios.
Internships should be paid for, and I do believe what they are doing is quite illegal in most cases. An internship, legally, is 2-3 days a week, and an enormous basis of the definition is that the individual is learning. Not fulfilling a job that was and now does not exist because there is no budget for it.

Now that I'm fully raging and about to break something. I'll let you go.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Great post! unfortunate reality. it would be great i think for the creative community if people stopped working for free- unless you are interning for 6 months-2 years-ish (like around the time you would be in school). if people who are making good money stop getting other people to work for them for free they will eventually have to pay talented people or take a few snaps with their iPhone if thats all they are looking for. what other profession gets as much pressure to work for free? do people go into a restaurant or a dentists office and go "well you love doing this, right, so you should do this for me for free"?

Great piece! Not to mention the witty touch of humour noir, always appreciated. It's far from being easy but at least you have the right attitude. It's crazy enough to get on the freelance road and even crazier to stay there, but hey.. normal is so boring anyways. Best of luck in your future endeavors, I'll be back to check pics from your shoot.

Great piece! I've just started my freelance career (and there's far too much 'free' in that 'lancing') and I'm also riding that crazy emotional roller coaster. Keep on truckin' though. We appreciate what you bring to the industry.
