What is an Entrepreneurial Journalist?

Entrepreneurial Journalist…  During my youthful journalism days editing school newspapers and later pursuing my college degree in mass media communications, I never heard or read those two words combined.  So there was no defining the pair, since the concept and phrase hadn’t been conceived and coined.

Here we are in 2012, and I’m not sure if the definitive definition is yet known. Would it be a journalist who freelances and has a LinkedIn profile or a Facebook page?  Hmm.  The phrase of course is coined but the concept seems, well… still a little bit fuzzy.  At least to me.

How would YOU “define” Entrepreneurial Journalist?

I’m working on a website that in its first development-stage asks you to answer or make your best guess at that question.  And your answer doesn’t have to be dictionary-sounding, heck it can be humorous if that’s what you have, or both.  We’ll share your best answers when Entrepreneurial Journalist dotcom launches this year. If you’d like a public attribution or “by line” on the new website, make sure to include your name along with your definition, after you click on the link box below.  Happy defining!

  • Coming into 2012, Facebook has about 800,000,000 users in general and niche communities around the world.  Facebook continues to grow geographically, globally and locally.
