Viajar para escribir un artículo requiere acceso y dinero. En el último artículo de TON en Español, @skylerdware.bsky.social, becaria de @bwfund.bsky.social‬, habla con @virginiagewin.bsky.social y otros para obtener consejos sobre cómo encontrar financiación y mucho más. #TONenEspañol 🧪

Traveling for a story requires access and money. In TON’s latest story, @bwfund.bsky.social‬ early-career fellow @skylerdware.bsky.social talks to @virginiagewin.bsky.social and others for tips on finding the funding and more. 🧪

Most of my stories are reported from my desk, interviewing from afar and doing my best to describe exciting scientific work that I rarely actually witness. This is a helpful piece at @theopennotebook.bsky.social on field reporting. I'm trying to do more: www.theopennotebook.com/2026/03/03/g...

As a freelancer, selling multiple stories helps you get the most value from your time when in the field, especially on longer trips when you aren’t taking other work, as @goesbykim.bsky.social did when she traveled to Brazil to report on the impacts of neurotoxic pesticides on farmers. 🧪

Una base de investigación profunda también puede mejorar las probabilidades de que una publicación financie tu reporteo, escribe becaria de TON/@bwfund.bsky.social @skylerdware.bsky.social, en esta historia con @astrolisa.bsky.social, @sofiamoutinho.bsky.social, y otros. #TONenEspañol 🧪

A foundation of in-depth research can improve the chances that a publication will finance your reporting, writes @bwfund.bsky.social‬ early-career fellow @skylerdware.bsky.social, in this story with @astrolisa.bsky.social, @goesbykim.bsky.social, @sofiamoutinho.bsky.social, and others. 🧪
