Dear Freelancer,
SAFREA’s annual Media Industry
and Rates survey for 2020 is live. Freelancers like you have relied on
the results of the survey to benchmark your rates, lobby for better pay and
conditions and understand the state of your art.
Since 2016, the survey has
provided a service to the entire freelance creative and professional media
sector – including journalists, script writers, photographers, videographers,
illustrators, graphic designers, translators, editors and others. The research
looks at rates that respondents have been willing to accept in the past year
and how the people and practices of the freelance media sector are changing
over time. The results of the study are used extensively by employers, media
businesses and researchers.
Now, we need your help.
Please fill out the 2019/2020
survey today. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete the
questionnaire. Participation is voluntary and anonymous. Data will remain
confidential.

The survey results have never
been more important as a tool to understand where South African freelance media
professionals and creatives stand – before and after the Covid19 virus.
As an added incentive, two
randomly selected respondents who complete the survey stand to win an annual
membership to SAFREA with full benefits worth R500.
For the first time, respondents
are asked to indicate what they consider to be a fair market rate should be for
the services that they provide. We hope to be able to provide more granular
data this year by cross-referencing certain values like region and monthly
income or experience and income levels.

network channels that you may administer or know.
Your participation will make the
survey results more useful to all.
