I’m interested in magazine journalism but sometimes I question working specifically at a magazine versus freelancing. From your experience which is better? And is working for full time at a magazine as glamorous as it sounds?

I love both. I only worked at a magazine for three years. And I’ve been a freelancer for twelve. So I guess I obviously prefer freelancing! I do miss the camaraderie of working with a staff. But ultimately, I’m a loner. And I like not having to leave the house. (Wow. That sounds really sad).
As for glamour. I think that depends on where you work. I worked at Billboard and The Source and it was a job, plain and simple. I had the opportunity to go to a few glamours events like concerts and awards shows. But I can’t say the job itself was glamorous.
