Pretty notable that two freelancers won @PulitzerPrizes this year for feature writing, but one of them was for a magazine that was shut down. Freelancing is often incredibly difficult to financially manage. I hope the award gives them the recognition and breathing room they need.

Also they should be paid a minimum of $3/word and/or be offered decent staff jobs with full benefits.

I stopped freelance writing and reporting about crime, media, and entertainment because I couldn't figure out how to make the money work while juggling pitching and bookkeeping. It's really tough for a lot of people. I am in awe of the winners for their perseverance and talent.

You definitely need to have or quickly get the business skills to make it work. A lot of people who try and think of it as a form of being a worker won't make it.
