Back by popular demand, we’re organizing another freelancer meet and greet next month. Our last event was such a success — about 30 freelance professionals in print, video, radio, web and mobile media, whether creative, journalistic or corporate — how could we resist?
Today is the first in a new series of Mediaville Blogterviews. These are short interviews, each of which introducing a Montreal freelancer and friend of Mediaville. It’s a great way to get the word out about what you do, and to find out more about other freelancers for potential collaboration.

This is the second of two posts in which Patrick Tanguay, Co-founder of Station C, location of the recent Mediaville All-Media Mixer, answers a few questions to help freelancers better understand the concept of coworking, and see why working in a professional, creative space like Station C beats the distractions of the home office or the coffee shop.

How to create a real opportunity for ‘journalists looking to thrive in a digital media world’?

Are you keeping your social networking profiles up to date?

Last Monday was the 10th Annual YES Artists’ Conference: Business Skills for Creative Souls – by all accounts, an excellent, inspirational and very informative event.
