Stanford Knight Fellowship labor project: Assigning editor survey
Thanks very much for taking the time to fill out this questionnaire about your experience working with freelance journalists. Your responses will inform my Stanford Knight Fellowship research on the current state of "work" as we know it in the news media industry. I know these questions are very open-ended! Please write as little or as much as you would like and are able.

It would be very helpful if you'd provide your name and contact information, though the form doesn't require it. All responses will remain anonymous, though they will inform my body of research, and as such I may pull some salient and representative quotes without attribution for limited publication.

Best,
Susie Cagle
