If you are a reporter, you must understand that the number on your paychecks will largely depend on the number of articles that you submit and publish on newspapers.
Obviously, the more articles you write, the more you'll earn.
Here's how you can increase the number of your newspaper articles: 1.
Be flexible.
It's great if you can write just about any news stories.
You must have the capability and the skills to cover police reports, to write news about the government and politics, and you must also be able to write about stocks and the economy.
It would be a huge plus if you can also write about entertainment and sports.
The more flexible you are, the better for your writing career.
2.
Do some field work.
You can't just sit in front of your computer and wait for newsworthy information to come to you.
As a reporter, it's a must that you do the dirty work.
Go to places where you will usually get scoops that your readers will find interesting.
If possible, hire people who can find additional scoops for you.
The more news you gather (together with your team), the more newspaper articles you'll be able to write.
3.
Extend your writing hours.
If you really want to produce more articles, you better make this your full-time job so you can spend at least 8 hours finding newsworthy information and writing your articles.
4.
Do not procrastinate.
This is deadly to your writing career.
You must never put off your writing task to tomorrow as your readers will not wait for you to know the hottest information around the globe.
