I have a couple of freelance journalist friends with websites that 
house all their work. I think it's a great way to organize your clips 
electronically- and you can then send a link to prospective jobs rather 
than the tedious attachments. Creating a website for my work is one of 
the items on a long list of to-dos that I haven't the time to address, 
but plan on building a simple site when I have the time.

    It may be unrealistic, but sometimes I wish there was some sort of 
standard or
protocol for on-line journalism portfolios. But the problem is that 
on-line
clips are not only text-based stories. Sometimes they are multi-media 
"clips"
with text, audio, and even streaming video.

Does anyone think that a completely web-based portfolio makes any 
sense? That
is, a prospective employer simply goes to the web site and read the 
clips and
looks at any other multi-media work.

I save clips from websites as PDFs. There's an easy option to save as 
PDF under
"print" if you're on a mac.

Subject: clips from online publications

    I would think the question of how to include online publications in  
your
portfolio is fairly straightforward. Printouts should work, with  the 
URL
provided for confirmation on the printout or in a cover  letter. In any 
e-mail
communication, you would obviously include live  links. 
 
  There may well be some tricks to this I am overlooking, e.g. a link  
that is
unstable, a page that is taken down. Perhaps it pays to save  one's 
online clips
as webpages.
