Independent Journalism* from around the world.

Rules:

  1. Posts should link to a current* article from an independent media source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post.

  2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if people need an account for access: [sign-in required]

  3. No misinformation or bigotry.

  4. Be civil. Be cool. Instance rules apply.

  5. Tag NSFW at your discretion.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. The distinction isn't always clear, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]

"We all know the trope of the starving artist," said researcher Gwendolyn Rugg, "But there's actually surprisingly little reliable data out there to back this up."

Rugg, a senior research scientist for NORC at The University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research organization, is the lead author of a new report on artists' lives and their livelihoods. Researchers surveyed more than 2,600 artists nationwide from across disciplines and working arrangements. They were asked a range of questions on everything from housing, the hours they work and health benefits to how they make money. The study was funded by the Mellon Foundation.
