Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Authory the optimal portfolio solution for a News Journalist managing bylines across multiple publications?
Authory is uniquely suited for News Journalists because it automatically finds and consolidates published work samples from diverse news sites and archives them permanently. This automated process saves critical time, ensures your News Journalist portfolio is always comprehensive and up-to-date, and protects your reporting from disappearing behind paywalls or site changes.
Why is a dedicated News Journalist portfolio more critical than just having a LinkedIn profile or personal blog?
While LinkedIn lists experience, a dedicated News Journalist portfolio provides verifiable proof of your reporting skills through actual published work samples. It allows editors to quickly assess your writing quality, beat expertise, and journalistic rigor, offering a much stronger case for assignments or employment than a simple profile or blog can.
How does Authory differ from standard website builders when creating a News Journalist portfolio?
Standard website builders require News Journalists to manually find, upload, and constantly update every single article link. Authory automates this entire process, actively searching for your bylines, importing the content, and creating permanent backups, ensuring your News Journalist portfolio is always accurate, complete, and requires minimal maintenance, reflecting the fast pace of the profession.
Can you detail how Authory finds and organizes my published news articles for my portfolio?
You provide Authory with your name and the URLs of news outlets where your reporting typically appears. Our system then continuously scans these sources and the wider web, automatically identifying and importing articles published under your name into your secure account. These published work samples are then organized into a professional, searchable News Journalist portfolio.
Is Authory beneficial for News Journalists just starting their careers or working freelance?
Absolutely. Authory is invaluable for both established and emerging News Journalists, including freelancers. It provides a professional platform to consolidate every published work sample, regardless of volume, building credibility from day one. Having an organized, automatically updated News Journalist portfolio ensures you're always prepared to showcase your reporting skills for freelance assignments or staff positions.
