Power your global freelancers
Onboard, manage, and pay your global freelancers compliantly and effortlessly.
Grow your top tier media freelance talent worldwide
Built for the pace and pressure of global media
Media organisations move fast. Stories break without warning. Productions scale up and down. Journalists, creators and freelancers are engaged at short notice to support editors, newsrooms and production teams across editorial, broadcast, digital and live environments.
Deadlines don’t move. Reputations are on the line and work often crosses borders.
The challenge is not knowing the rules. It is applying them consistently under pressure, as assignments change, locations shift and contributors are re-engaged over time.
Project Global supports media organisations working with journalists, creators and production freelancers worldwide. We help teams move quickly while staying compliant, maintaining control as roles, locations and working arrangements evolve.
Where risk appears in media environments
In media organisations, risk rarely starts with poor intent but builds through pace and complexity.
Common pressure points include:
- Journalists, creators and freelancers re-engaged repeatedly without reassessment
- Assignments evolving beyond their original scope during live or ongoing coverage
- Cross-border work triggering employment, tax or payroll exposure
- Informal onboarding during breaking news or urgent productions
- Evidence scattered across emails, systems and teams
- Misclassification risk emerging over time rather than at the outset
Left unmanaged, these issues can lead to regulatory exposure, payroll risk and reputational damage, often surfacing only when scrutiny increases.
How Project Global supports media organisations
We act as an operational compliance partner, working alongside editorial, production, HR, legal and finance teams to reduce friction without slowing delivery.
How it works in practice
Engage trusted talent
Re-engage experienced journalists, creators and production freelancers quickly through compliant private talent pools, so editors and producers can staff live coverage, events and productions without delay or repeated onboarding.
Onboard correctly
Structured onboarding, contracts and checks aligned to local law, role type and risk profile, even when engagements are urgent, short-term or location-specific.
Manage evolving assignments
Clear visibility over active engagements, changes in scope and working arrangements as stories develop, productions shift and roles evolve.
Pay compliantly
We handle compliant payroll and payments for journalists, creators and freelancers across countries and currencies, applying local tax, payroll and statutory requirements correctly in each location.
Monitor risk
Ongoing monitoring throughout the full lifecycle of each engagement, with clear triggers for review as roles, duration or working patterns change.
Evidence compliance
Audit-ready records covering decisions, changes and payments, built into the workflow rather than reconstructed later.
Designed for real media complexity
We regularly support organisations operating in:
- Live breaking news and international newsroom environments
- Elections and politically sensitive coverage
- Public service and regulated media organisations
- Live events, sport and short-term productions
- Global film, TV and music productions
