Samples should not be exclusively from big-name publications. Editors also look for smaller publications, local newspapers, stations, or even niche blogs online when hiring decisions. These days, editors understand that reporting in the digital age looks different than previous generations of journalism. In a journalism portfolio, you should include clips from newspapers and magazines, blogs and digital articles, television, radio, and any documentary or photography credits.
The beauty of the internet is that you can provide links to almost any published work. Portfolios are all about displaying the quality of your writing and reporting, as well as your journalistic range. Spend some time reading through different portfolios from journalists you especially admire. They probably have portfolios out there as well.
A little research into how they set up their work can be a good starting point for you. The journalism industry can be challenging to break into. With tons of people competing for jobs, it can be daunting to keep applying. The good news is that there are many opportunities in the journalism field for jobs. And with the rise of digital media, there are more ways to showcase your talent as a reporter than ever before.
Whether the portfolio is on a blog or an entire website dedicated to it. Starting an online presence from scratch can be daunting, but an accessible platform is how you attract both readers and editors alike. A sleek, organized website is just the thing to do that. Websites like Wix or SquareSpace provide basic formats for people that are interested in growing themselves online. These websites have free and premium options as well.

With these options, it is simple to put together an engaging digital presence with all the content you want hiring editors to find. Another important aspect of accessibility is categories for your work. Now that you have accessible samples out there make it easy by putting your work into different sections. You can separate your work by medium, specific beats, year, location, or publication.
If you have any other skills in your arsenal, like photography skills, experience with newspaper or magazine design, or an in-depth understanding of data and graphs, use that. If you have any published work that displays these skills, add it in as well. Anything to make you stand out to hiring editors is going to be essential in your portfolio. Your bio establishes a narrative about who you are, and it can help editors get to know you better.
