Stories To Look For As A Freelance Writer Outdoor Events

By George Foster


When you work for yourself, you may find that you always need to be motivated to make money. You cannot afford to let an opportunity pass you by in favor of your competition. When you work as a freelance writer outdoor events can be particularly lucrative for you. You can decide what occasions to visit and what types of stories your readers are looking for in the city, state, or region that you cover.

Once the new year is underway, you might not have to wait very long for a major story to break. In fact, it could take place once the politicians from your area are being sworn in on the capitol or statehouse steps. The media are often invited to appear at these events so pictures can be taken and news can be reported to the public. You might get pictures of the politicians as well as their families, providing news that no other reporter in the area can take credit for after it is published.

Another event to which reporters are sometimes invited is a major sports tournament. Sports tournaments are held throughout the year but especially in the spring as schools finish up their competitive seasons. Track and field, soccer, tennis, and baseball are the sports that most schools participate in during the springtime.

They also might wish to learn about records that have been broken or new records that have been set. Like political stories, you might get photos and videos to attach to the stories you cover. You also could sell what you have recorded to local media that may not have been there.

The summertime is a season of many high society occasions. People of importance sometimes host weddings that are held outside. These celebrations are major events in some cities particularly in the Deep South where tradition and family honor are still esteemed principles. The families often invite reporters to have the celebrations commemorated in the local newspaper and magazines.

The bigger news could come from the names of the people marrying each other and why the connections are particularly newsworthy. Sometimes these connections have a way of changing the fabric of society in small to mid-size towns. The story will be complete once you get official pictures of the newlyweds together.

As the year winds down, many cities hold celebrations to mark the holidays. Nativity scenes are set up outside of churches and places of worship. These scenes are held alongside major celebrations like Christmas parades, winter carnivals, and food bazaars. They encourage the public to get out and have fun together with friends and neighbors. They also are noteworthy for those who attend as well as people who may no longer live in the area.

These events and more are all prime occasions for a freelance writer like you to find big news. You could be the only reporter at the outdoor event. Your readers might especially look for tidbits that are fascinating to them or have some connection to the area or their families. You also have the option of selling the news for money.
